About us

Researchers in qualification phases play a key role in shaping research at Europa-Universität Flensburg through their research, innovations, and commitment. These qualification phases hold central importance in several respects.

The goal of the  Graduate Center is to optimally support researchers in qualification phases to help them advance and complete their research projects, strengthen their skills, and prepare them for career opportunities both within and outside of academia.

As an interdisciplinary graduate center, we support doctoral candidates, postdoctoral researchers, and junior professors through targeted interdisciplinary qualification offerings that complement those of the academic faculties, flagship research centers, and other institutions at Europa-Universität Flensburg that support early-career researchers.

The core tasks and responsibilities of GraZ are:

  • To transparently announce all resources, events, and offerings for researchers in qualification phases at Europa-Universität Flensburg
  • To design and conduct an interdisciplinary training program to help researchers develop and strengthen interdisciplinary skills relevant to their qualifications and careers
  • To implement quality assurance measures for our own services and program offerings

The Graduate Center is managed by a full-time managing director under the responsibility of the EUF Vice President for Research and Knowledge Transfer.

Managing Director of GraZ: Dr. Kathrin Rheinländer
