Better and faster doctoral studies in Saxony-Anhalt: MLU launches state-wide network
How can the overall supervision of doctoral students at universities in Saxony-Anhalt be improved? What new concepts are there? What can be learned from doctoral programs abroad? And: What services do postdocs need in order to develop their own academic profile? The new project “Hochschulnetzwerk der Graduiertenakademien in Sachsen-Anhalt” at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU) is addressing questions such as these. The aim is to develop new offers and concepts for the doctorate of early career researchers at universities in Saxony-Anhalt. MLU is receiving around 1.6 million euros from the European Social Fund Plus and the state of Saxony-Anhalt for this purpose.
