Student Meetings
The doctoral students of the MGSE meet on a regular basis for discussion and socializing: New students present their research projects to their peers, PIs and ETT-Fellows join the students to present aspects of their work, and alumni or other representatives from academia, industry or the social/cultural sector are invited to give advice on job perspectives. The meetings are a place for open and collegial discussion of the doctoral students and guests in a friendly and enjoyable environment. Every now and then, the meetings are combined with a BBQ or other social activities.
