Better do do better in Saxony-Anhalt: New network starts!

Martin-Luther-Universität Halle-Wittenberg, 06108 Halle (Saale), Deutschland - in Saxony-Anhalt something exciting! The Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) has now launched the "University Network of Graduate Academies" program in order to significantly improve the care of doctoral students. IDW-Online reports that this nationwide network with a financing of around 1.6 million euros from the European Social Fund Plus and the state of Saxony-Anhalt is set up. The aim is to develop new concepts to promote young scientists and to optimize the framework conditions for the doctorate.

The focus of the initiative is the International Graduate Academy (Ingra) of the MLU, which acts as a central point of contact. Here not only further training offers are organized, but also requests for structured graduation programs. In order to increase the attractiveness of the universities in Saxony-Anhalt for international researchers, various offers are planned, including an online course on “good scientific practice” and an analysis of modern care concepts abroad.

advantages for doctoral students

A clear focus is also on the acceleration of the doctoral degrees and the increase in the success rate. Special measures are taken to improve the framework conditions for part -time promotions, especially in cooperation with industrial companies. This means that the doctoral students can not only get their title faster, but also have better opportunities to combine theory and practice.

But that's not all: PhD researchers also benefit from a wide range. Workshops and coaching for the development of the scientific profile as well as information events on funding programs should support your career. This shows that the network not only aims at the new doctoral students, but also on the already established scientists.

interdisciplinary framework conditions

At the KIT, young scientists find various doctoral programs that vary in terms of topic and size. These programs are part of the KIT excellence strategy, which aims to create the best conditions for doctoral students. Support for internationalization and network formation are also important components of these programs, which not only include graduate schools, but also graduate colleges.

For those interested, the information about selection processes and tender periods is available directly from the respective programs, so that everyone can start looking for the right opportunity to successfully start the research offensive.
