The first summer school in the second funding period of the SFB dedicated to the enhancement of key competences of the Ph.D. candidates and Postdocs. As in previous years, the needs of the participants provided the basis for the program of the one-week event.

Ph.D. candidates in the first year of their Ph.D. studies were recommended to attend workshops on the design and presentation of academic posters as well as scientific writing. Simultaneously, workshops on self-marketing and career planning were addressed to Ph.D. candidates at the end of their Ph.D. studies and postdoctoral researchers.

The summer school took place off-campus in a seminar center in Bad Bevensen to offer ideal conditions for the young researchers of the first and second funding period to network and exchange.
