  • Management of an online administration system for doctoral candidates
  • Provision of a networking and information platform as an umbrella organisation for all graduate schools and structured doctoral degree programmes.
  • Support and information for administration processes relating to doctoral degrees.
  • An interdisciplinary programme of events for all doctoral candidates at FAU (interdisciplinary workshops and seminars on soft skills)
  • Support for doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers with questions relating to career planning and career development both within and outside research
