PhD progress management Every student selects a thesis committee within the first year of their PhD. The thesis committee is formed by two people, one being a senior member of the CRC-TR. A formal Doctoral Agreement will be prepared and signed by the student and the thesis committee at the beginning of the PhD. Besides regular supervision meetings with her/his supervisor, students of the IRTG have a yearly formal meeting with the thesis committee to discuss the progress of the doctoral work. In preparation of the meeting, the students will submit a progress report to the thesis committee. During the meeting students will have to explain their work in a short presentation, followed by a thorough discussion of the progress report in relation to the goals set in the previous formal meeting or at the beginning of the doctoral studies. During the meeting, a list of goals for the next […]

Support for attendance of conferences Presentation of the research results in workshops and conferences is a fundamental requirement in the formation of a scientist. Students of the IRTG are requested to attend at least two events per year (workshops, conferences, or schools), where they present their research work as a poster or an oral presentation. (Only first year PhD students may travel without presenting own work). The CRC-TR may provide financial support for the travel expenses, available upon application to the CRC-TR office. The choice of the conference/workshop is made by the students with the support of the thesis supervisor. This activity is meant to foster the students’ independence and project planning skills and gives them the opportunity to interact with other scientists and expand their scientific network. On the other hand, it represents one of the most effective means to give visibility to the work of the CRC-TR and […]

Lecture cycle A series of lectures on topics related to the CRC-TR is organized by the IRTG. The aim of this activity is to provide appropriate training to all the young members of the CRC-TR, foster discussions and ex-change, and create networking opportunities. The main pool of speakers for these lectures will be the PIs of the CRC-TR, but external guest speakers will be invited as well. Students of the IRTG organize the lecture cycle with the support of the IRTG coordinators. Students also have the opportunity to propose guest speakers.

Student seminar cycle This activity is meant to foster scientific exchange between students and to help them to organize the other student activities. It takes place every month, alternating between Mainz and Darmstadt, and in combination with the Lecture cycle. Students are requested to periodically present their research progress in front of the other students (ideally once per year), taking into account the interdisciplinary background of the audience. Presentations are no longer than 30min plus discussion (two presentations per session). This meeting are also used to elect the student speakers and discuss IRTG and CRC-TR related issues among the students, such as suggestions for the annual retreat, the complementary training opportunities, external guests, and the organization of the summer schools. The students organize this activity themselves, with the support of the IRTG heads and coordinators.

Annual Retreat The annual retreats are meant to foster scientific exchange, collaboration and team building within the CRC-TR. Every year, students and post-docs in the CRC-TR get together at an annual retreat, which is organized by the students themselves with the help of the IRTG coordination office. PIs do not participate in these retreats. However, students have funds to invite external speakers. During the retreat the attendees have the opportunity to present their work to their peers and discuss possible opportunities for exchange and collaborations. Guests, from the academia or from the industry, also give the attendants further opportunity to create new links/collaborations and extend their personal scientific network.

Summer and winter schools Within the framework of the IRTG, an annual summer schools is planned to foster training, co-operation and dissemination within the CRC-TR and externally. The school program is organized in cooperation with the existing structured graduate programs (MAINZ, MPGC, Ingenium) and with the CECAM (Centre Européen de Calcul Atomique et Moléculaire) node SMSM (Soft Matter and Sta-tistical mechanics, see http://www.cecam.org/node_smsm.html), which is run by MPIP, JGU, TU Darmstadt and the university of Stuttgart. Participation in the schools is not limited to doctoral students but it is open to all the members of CRC-TR and to external scientists, so that these events represent a way to bring together all the contributors to the CRC-TR and interested members of external groups. PIs of the CRC-TR are expected to contribute to the schools with oral presentations and students with poster presentations.

Focus seminars In addition to the summer schools and the annual retreats, more focused meetings bring together young members and PIs of the CRC-TR from closely interacting subprojects and, where appropriate, external guests. These smaller scale seminars are organized on a regular basis. The participating groups present their projects to each other and discuss further opportunity of collaboration. The focused meeting provide the attendees with an opportunity for advanced training and exchange and for expanding their scientific network. Every student in the IRTG is be expected to participate in the organization of at least one such event during the time of the thesis. The CRC-TR office and the PIs of the participating sub-projects also provide support for the organization of these activities.

Complementary training To complement the solid scientific preparation of the members of the CRC-TR, and to prepare the young members for a job in the industry or academia, transferable skills courses and career development initiatives are organized within the framework of the IRTG in cooperation with the other graduate schools in Mainz (MAINZ, MPGC, the center for computational science) and Ingenium in Darmstadt in order to provide an integrated complementary training offer. The topics mainly covered within the transferable skill umbrella range from ‘project management’ to ‘intercultural communication’, from ‘scientific writing’ to ‘oral presentation skills’, from ‘scientific data management’ to ‘good scientific practice’. Further career development initiatives include discussions with guests from the industry (i.e., chemical companies, publishing companies, patent lawyers etc.) as well as excursions to external companies of interest. The students of the IRTG choose the topics of their transferable skill courses themselves, according to their interests, and […]
