The PIER Graduate Week is an interdisciplinary lecture and workshop week for young scientists. It offers two scientific block courses for doctoral researchers in the wide range of the PIER research fields of Particle & Astroparticle Physics, Nanoscience, Photon Science and Infection & Structural Biology. Complementary soft skill courses take place on 10-13 October.
The scientific courses are a four-day series of eight consecutive mini lectures (6-9 October, see navigation bar on the left hand side). Course 1 is on "Optical and X-ray Techniques in Photon Science", course 2 covers "Scientific Software Development".
The graduate week's main objective is to give young scientists on Bahrenfeld campus the opportunity to broaden their interdisciplinary understanding and interchange with their colleagues from other research fields.
Extras:
- Industry talk, discussion and networking with Thermo Fisher, a global American life science and clinical research company. It is a supplier of analytical instruments, clinical development solutions, specialty diagnostics, laboratory, pharmaceutical and biotechnology services.
- Complementary soft skills workshops: "Scientific writing using AI Assistants", "AI-powered time management", "Mental Health in Academia" and "Find a career that fits + career counselling". Please note: The places for the soft skills workshops are limited and take place after the scientific lectures between 10-13 October.
- Poster session: Doctoral researchers from all PIER research fields are invited to present a poster on 8 October. The best poster will be awarded a prize.
