Prizes, Scholarships and Independent Funding within the Group
"PhD Externships":
One pillar of our scientific training philosophy is to encourage and support our PhD students to take 3 months off their home projects and go to world-leading labs abroad. With Corona restrictions lifting, these externships are helping our students to acquire new skillsets and mindsets, while working on completely different topics that they independently design and propose. This refreshes the air during the PhD years, builds bridges to support postdoc applications and start collaborations, and is a prestigious and enjoyable recognition for our intellectual commitment and hard work.
