International PhD Days 2021 (part 1)

winter term 2021-22

We cordially invite you to the International PhD Days 2021. The event will take place on October 21 and 22, 2021 and is organized by the International Office and the International Graduate Academy (InGrA). It is mainly aimed at doctoral candidates who have recently started their PhD at Martin Luther University and participation is worthwhile! You will have the opportunity to learn about important areas of the university and its support services during short presentations. There will also be two workshops on "Starting your PhD in Germany" and "Building a sustainable schedule: Work-life balance, resilience, and managing stress." The lectures and workshops will take place online.
In addition, the event offers the opportunity to meet new people and to network: On Thursday evening, there will be a cozy get-together at the Peißnitzhaus with food and drinks, to which you are also cordially invited. For planning reasons, we'd kindly ask you to also indicate in your registration if you would like to participate in the evening program.
