FAUnetwork RTG

The FAUnetwork RTG is a platform for exchanging information and ideas about all topics relevant to structured doctoral degrees. A further aim of the network is to optimize future applications and to improve the support provided to applicants.

All speakers of externally-financed research training groups are invited to take part twice a year. Future applicants are also very welcome.

The next speaker meeting of the FAUnetwork RTG will take place on October 13, 2023.
