Finally, Bernadette Ramaker (ENYSSP president) will host an evening session about PhD students’ opportunities for a career in the applied field and Prof. Heike Tiemann (Leipzig University) will get participants physically active in her Sport and Inclusion workshop.
Participants also have the opportunity to present their PhD projects and to receive valuable feedback from experts and fellow students. And, individual supervision sessions can be booked with the experts.
Overall, this one-week course will enable communication, networking, and cooperation among students and experts. In addition to the the scientific content, there will be enough time for a rich social programme including sightseeing, physical activities and an evening out in a pub. We very much look forward to welcoming you in Leipzig in September.
