To all explorers and adventurers of the World of Science, welcome!
Climb into your rocket and visit the planets of the Research Galaxy. In Lecture Orbit, you will learn about the culture, tools, and legal aspects of research practice. Then, fly on to Hands-on Orbit, where you can deepen your knowledge in practice-oriented workshops.
Explorations of the research galaxy are organized and accompanied by the following space agencies: TUHH Library, Graduate Academy, and Hamburg Open Online University (HOOU).
The contents will be particularly useful for doctoral candidates in the early stages of their PhD journey. But other interested participants are welcome, too!
