Who we are
The Graduate Research Training Group (Graduiertenkolleg, Physics GRK) is the student-led organization representing all PhD students at the Institute for Physics of the University of Rostock.
What we are aiming at
Our goal is to increase the quality and impact of young scientist's research and to strengthen scientific communication. For that, we must create a community in which every member feels respected and valued. Further, the Physics GRK represents the doctoral candidates at our institute, their matters are communicated by the speaker team to faculty.
Benefits
- Low level direct scientific exchange of tools and methods
- Enhanced communication and presentation skills, strengthened competences for scientific and industrial career
- As an active member, you'll receive an official certificate with all teaching duties listed and your additional non-scientific tasks will be acknowledged at your PhD defense
- Several support measures, such as student assistants, courses, conference visits, guest scientists and external speakers etc. can be funded by the Physics GRK
- Connect with other PhD students via social events
Most of our events take place during the weekly doctoral seminar on Thursdays, 3-4pm. Have a look at the website to learn about active Physics GRK membership and the current scientific activities within the doctoral seminar.
