26/09/2019 - PhD students from all disciplines of the Leibniz Association are gathering this week in Potsdam to discuss their research, exchange ideas and network. Hosted by the Potsdam Institute for Climate Impact Research (PIK), the two day Leibniz PhD Network General Assembly brings together doctoral researchers for an elaborate programme including talks, discussions and the election of spokespersons. The students were welcomed by Ingo Bräuer, head of PIK's science coordination and transfer, at PIK on Telegrafenberg Science Campus.
The Leibniz PhD Network was founded in 2016 as an initiative of doctoral researchers from various Leibniz Institutes. It represents the interests of all doctoral researchers of all institutes and museums – currently 95 – that make up the Leibniz Association. Leibniz is one of the four big scientific non-university organisations in Germany. The Leibniz PhD Network is open to all doctoral researchers of the Leibniz Association and aims at promoting exchange and organise opportunities to foster and strengthen the Leibniz Network.
