GRK Doctoral Seminar

Welcome to the Seminar of the Graduate Research Traning group. We regularly meet on Thursday's at 3pm, during the semester.

The stage is yours - pick a format

  • Present your results or
  • introduce an experimental, computational, theoretical, ... method or
  • give a tutorial on a specific tool, e.g., a software you developed, or
  • showcase the topics of your research group in a joint talk with your work group colleagues

Become an effective communicator

  • Practice to introduce your field of research to a broad audience of physicists
  • Explain your research ideas such that student peers can follow
  • React to scientific questions from the audience
  • Train your PhD defense or conference talk

Increase visibility

  • Make your results more visible and get others interested in your research
  • Reference your article or an abstract in our GRK Research Gate group. People might want to look up your topic there.

Improve your skills & give and take feedback

  • Interactive feedback collected anonimously on our pinboard during your talk 
  • Discussion with peers in breakoutrooms to improve your talk in a safe environment 

Schedule of upcoming Seminar Contributions

All contributers are eligible for a GRK certificate upon PhD completion.
Abstracts, including a teaser graphic, will be advertised to all PhD-students via email
and linked in our event archive.

Talks by PhD Candidates

PhD students are encouraged to present their work to fellow students. Participating offers the unique opportunity to ask all levels of questions (even "entry level" questions) in the seminar to develop an understanding of other hot topics in physics, outside the own research project.
