The last year has been challenging and has shed light on how important meetings, events, and face-to-face conversations are. Good ideas often come from discussions and working together.

And wherever you are in your life, someone has presumably helped you at some stage by asking the right question at the right time, by  giving you good advice, sharing vital information, or opening a door.

For this reason, success needs reliable partners: We are excited to collaborate with the Helmholtz-Zentrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) as part of our joint Postdoc Center.

In this respect: cheers and thanks to all mentors, supervisors, cooperation partners, and role models!

We wish you an inspiring and interesting read of our first edition!

GA Doctoral Council &
Postdoc Council
 

You have elected the 7th GA Doctoral Council. The representatives of the established body represent the interests of the Ph.D. students of the Graduate Academy (GA).

With the founding of the joint Postdoc Center of TU Dresden and Helmholtz-Centrum Dresden-Rossendorf (HZDR) under the umbrella of the GA, postdocs are becoming an even stronger priority of our services.

For the first time this year, a Postdoc Council was elected as well. This council will represent postdocs and their interests and give them more visibility throughout the university.

We wish both committees every success
and look forward to working together!

 

The Journal Club is organized by two Ph.D. students and part of our OPEN SPACE. Learn together, share experiences, motivate each other!

The meetings currently take place online via Zoom. Over a cup of tea, you will discuss new approaches and publications on the future of scientific research.
