Discussion
17:00-17:40
In this discussion, PhD students share their experiences from their research projects with undergraduate students. They report on challenges, findings and everyday life in science. The aim is to provide an insight into the doctoral phase and answer questions at first hand.
Lifelong learning is an important principle for us. That is why we offer programmes such as the Junge Uni, FIT4YOUniversity, and SeniorInnenUni.
