A Promising Start for Excellent Research, Interdisciplinary Exchange, and Targeted Support in Energy + Environment
On February 14, 2025, the official launch of the E+E Graduate School marked the beginning of a new chapter in the support of young researchers in the field of Energy and Environment (E+E) with an inspiring kick-off meeting.
The event began with a welcome speech by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Matthias Oechsner, Vice President for Research, who emphasized the key role of the E+E Graduate School in fostering the next generation of scientists. Following this, Prof. Dr. Jan Philipp Hofmann (Coordinator) and Dr. Jeanine Dörr (Program Manager) provided insightful information on the diverse opportunities and offerings of the graduate school.
A special highlight was the personal account of Dr. Mathis Fricke, a postdoctoral researcher, who shared valuable insights from his PhD journey and offered practical advice for early-career researchers.
The kick-off meeting provided professors and PhD candidates with an ideal platform to learn about the E+E Graduate School's programs, network with peers, and become part of an engaged scientific community.
The newly established E+E Graduate School
The newly established E+E Graduate School bridges the gap between Ingenium and the specialized programs of individual disciplines. It offers a comprehensive range of training, advisory services, and international networking opportunities to approximately 500 PhD candidates conducting research in the Energy + Environment field.
The E+E Graduate School’s mission is to provide targeted support for PhD candidates, equip them with the skills necessary for excellent research, and prepare them for future professional and societal challenges.
