Doctorate and Post-Doctorate

Every month, the group of doctoral and post-doctoral students at the study program meets for professional and personal exchange - and of course, additional discussions take place in between. The topics are all structured around the question of a sustainable energy supply, so that there is a wealth of expertise in this area in the group.
