Events for PhD's within IGS

IGS wants to provide an inspiring and innovative environment for its PhD’s. As of 2012 we have put together a new website for PhD’s and we are planning to organize several meetings and events for this special group of young researchers within our institute. Here we keep you posted on current developments and upcoming events and will be regularly updated. For further questions you can contact the IGS office.

Upcoming IGS PhD-events:

§	IGS bi-monthly PhD Drinks (16.30 hrs – 18.00 hrs @ the Faculty Club): every two months IGS will organize a small and informal get together for its PhD’s. In December 2012 all the IGS PhD’s are also very welcome at the IGS Christmas drinks.

IGS introductory lunch meeting for new PhD’s: twice a year our institute organizes a lunch meeting for PhD’s that have recently begun their PhD trajectory, during this lunch meeting our Scientific Director and our Executive Director will be present and introduce our PhD’s with the goals and research within IGS.
