Summer School

Togeth­er with the PK Nach­wuchs, the LOC orga­nizes its first Summer School as a pre-program of the annu­al meet­ing. This is aimed at master students and young PhD students who are inter­est­ed in learn­ing method­olog­i­cal as well as soft skill compe­tences from the differ­ent areas of GMDS.

In four sessions, the disci­plines will intro­duce them­selves to the partic­i­pants and share meth­ods rele­vant to their respec­tive disci­plines. In addi­tion, there will be a cross-disciplinary method session.

In addi­tion to the sessions, there will be a social program offer­ing vari­ous oppor­tu­ni­ties to network with other young scien­tists or GMDS seniors. Accom­mo­da­tion in the youth hostel not far from the campus and a dinner will be provid­ed. The costs for this will be covered by the GMDS.

The Summer School will be held on Septem­ber 16 and 17, 2023 in Heil­bronn at the Bildungscam­pus. Registrations will be accepted via the conference registration. GMDS member­ship is a prereq­ui­site. Those who are not yet members can become members here. Student member­ship is free of charge.
Note: Regis­tra­tion for young PhD students is now open!
