Workshops, Info Sessions and Onboardings

The Graduate Academy’s workshop and training programme helps doctoral researchers and postdocs at TUHH develop key transferable skills for day-to-day research and the next career step. It includes up to two-day intensive trainings, short info sessions, and twice-yearly onboarding events for TUHH’s new research associates (WiMis).

New events are added on an ongoing basis.

Research-focused offerings are also brought together in the Research Galaxy.

Here you can see an example of the typical challenges encountered in the various phases of a doctorate. Training in transferable skills in the Graduate Academy workshops can help you to overcome these challenges.

Are you a new doctoral researcher at TU Hamburg? Kickstart your research journey with the Graduate Academy's event "Spring Onboarding: WiMis Getting Started" on Friday, May 8th, 2026.

This full-day event is designed to welcome you as a research assistant at TUHH and to introduce you to departments and people that you are likely to be involved with during your PhD. We want to give the TUHH and its various fields of work a face and thus facilitate getting in touch with each other. Furthermore, we would like to give you an opportunity to get in touch with other junior scientists, share experiences and form new connections.
