Spring school “Socially Engaged Research in Life Sciences” (April 9-10, 2024)

Written by

The following event is organized by the Horizon EU Projekt BETTER Life.

There is a growing interest in collaborative and interdisciplinary research for addressing many global challenges that societies are facing nowadays. Early Career Researchers can and should play a key role in addressing these challenges and breaking the traditional barriers of academic research by better aligning their research with societal needs and wants.

With the International Spring School you will be given an overview of the potential and challenges of socially engaged research and you can explore individual approaches in greater depth as well as learn about interesting methods for enhancing socially engage research in workshops and sessions.

BETTER Life looks forward to welcoming Master’s students, PhD students and post-docs who want to expand their knowledge of socially engaged research.

Spring School takes place online via Zoom in English and is free of charge.

If you are interested, please register on eventbrite by April 4, 2024.

What supervisors want / Was Betreuende erwarten

Written by

The relationship between doctoral researchers and their supervisors influences the pathway and success of a doctoral project and is a crucial factor for the start of an academic career (Ives & Rowley 2007). It is thus all the more important that both parties deal with the perspective, expectations and needs of the other side.

With the project “What supervisors want” InGrA sheds some light on the relationship between supervisors and their doctoral students. The project was carried out in 2023.

  • Interview with Prof. Wefers
  • Interview with Prof. Haase
  • Interview with Prof. Heilmann
  • Prof. Senge at Steintor-Campus

The project consists of the following parts:

  • Introduction to the project
  • Results of the online survey of doctoral students on supervision
  • Portraits of interview participants
  • Interviews with supervisors (in German)
    • Prof. Dr. Daniel Wefers (Food Chemistry)
    • Prof. Dr. Jenny Haase (Spanish and American Literature and Culture), 
    • Prof. Dr. Ingo Heilmann (Plant Biochemistry) 
    • Prof. Dr. Konstanze Senge (Economic and Organisational Sociology).
  • Interview: main take-aways (in English)

To provide information and guidance for doctoral students we have approached supervisors in four departments at MLU. In semi-structured interviews we asked them about their perspective and experiences in the supervision of doctoral students. This was preceded by an online survey in which doctoral researchers had the opportunity to ask their questions and thus helped to shape the interview guidelines. Enjoy the reading. Hopefully, we can broaden your perspective on doctoral supervision and What supervisors want.

Second funding period of two Research Training Groups approved

Written by

Congratulations! The German Research Foundation (DFG) is once again funding two Research Training Groups (RTGs) at MLU with around four million euros each. This will enable the successful training of doctoral students in the fields of plant research and protein research to be continued and expanded.

The Research Training Group “Communication and Dynamics of Plant Cell Compartments (GRK 2498)” is investigating the question of how plants produce their special ingredients and valuable substances.

The Research Training Group “Intrinsically Disordered Proteins – Molecular Principles, Cellular Functions, and Diseases (GRK 2467)” is investigating a special class of proteins that is also responsible for many serious diseases.
