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

Segments of the Doctoral Seminar
Invited Talks
This GRK segment offers unique opportunities to participate in small events with internationally recognized scientists, who provide an overview and roadmap of developing research interests in physics.
Invited Talk: Paul B. Corkum
Invited Talk: Siegfried Glenzer
Invited Talk: Hadiseh Alaeian
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.
