We are proud to invite you to celebrate the European Doctoral Day with us - the four Universities of Applied Sciences in Saxony‑Anhalt. Together we will put the PhD experience in the international spotlight.
On May 13, from 1:00 to 4:30 pm we host the online event Futures in Applied Research – Voices, Paths and Impacts in Saxony-Anhalt. Hear from international doctoral students about their personal experiences, discuss motivation, and gain valuable insights into their daily research routines as well as career prospects both within and outside academia.
Highlights:
-Interview with Carolin Rautenberg & Joseph Smithard (both Anhalt University of Applied Sciences): initial stages, daily work, and the supervision relationship
-Experience report by Sonam (Merseburg University of Applied Sciences): completed doctorate and what’s next?
-Experience report by Zonghan Jiang (Anhalt University of Applied Sciences): What is it like to finance your doctoral studies with a scholarship?
-Flash Talks: Current doctoral students take on the 3-Minute-Pitch-Challenge!
