Have you been thinking about going abroad as part of your studies for some time now? Do you keep asking yourself the following questions: Where? When? For how long? What opportunities are there at all?
During the International Days 2021 from Tuesday, 19 October to Thursday, 21 October at Graz University of Technology, there will be various opportunities to get information, ask open questions and network with students who are currently doing a semester abroad or are doing their exchange at Graz University of Technology.
What is it like doing a PhD? How can one stay motivated and focussed even when everything seems to go wrong? How many publications do I have to write and how can I be paid for my work? These and many other pressing questions were answered during โMeeting Point Dissertationโ on September the 29th, which was attended by 140 PhDs โ in person and virtually. We were blown away by the great discussion we had and the amount of relevant information which was packed into each presentation! We thank all the speakers, especially former PhDs Christian Knoll and Gundelinde Wiegel for sharing their life experience with us and for patiently answering a ton of questions! Another big thank you goes out to the Human Resource Development Department for organising this smooth event with our support!
