Doctoral researchers weekend retreat

Since 2009, the doctoral researcher representatives have organised a PhD Weekend/ Weekend Retreat every year. During this weekend, the interdisciplinary cooperation of the doctoral researchers is intensified. The members of GS SimTech can get to know each other better and exchange professional and personal experiences. The event serves (besides the activities of the Society of Simulation Technology e. V.) to build up a sustainable network of PhD students.

Doctoral researchers stays abroad in 2022 and 2023

All doctoral researchers are required to complete a three-month stay abroad. This allows them to establish and maintain international contacts. In 2022 and 2023 they visited universities and research institutes in Australia, USA, Europe, Canada and South Africa.
