Your benefits
Next to a comprehensive research training, as a PhD of the Graduate School Life Science Engineering you will benefit from a variety of activities.
| Interdisciplinary Supervision | The Graduate School Life Science Engineering provides a Thesis Advisory Committee to monitor your progress and help you design an individual career development plan. This interdisciplinary supervision can provide valuable feedback and guidance for your PhD program. |
| Mobility Allowance | PhD students in the Graduate School Life Science Engineering receive a mobility allowance to support their research stays abroad or their participation in national and international conferences. This can provide opportunities for networking and learning from other researchers in your field. |
| Extracurricular Seminars and Trainings | The in-house umbrella organization INGENIUM.offers a range of extracurricular seminars and trainings in transferable skills to help PhD students develop skills outside of their specific research area. These skills can include communication, project management, and entrepreneurship. |
| LSE-Seminar | The monthly LSE-Seminar provides a platform for intedisciplinary exchange among PhD students of the Graduate School. The PhD students present their own research projects and methods, external speakers can be invited or scientific excursions organized. The aim of the seminar is to foster interdisciplinary discussions and collaborations among the different departments. The seminar series is supervised and organized by the PhD Committee. |
| Annual Retreat | The Graduate School Life Science Engineering hosts an annual retreat in Kleinwalsertal, Austria, where students can present their progress, network with other researchers, and engage in interdisciplinary discussions. Additionally, the retreat provides opportunities for skiing and other outdoor activities. |
| Laboratory Rotation | PhD students in the Graduate School Life Science Engineering have the opportunity to learn a broad spectrum of methods through laboratory rotation. This can help students gain experience in different research areas and develop new skills that may be applicable to their research. |
