The organizing committee encourages you and your group members to join the conference MacroStruct 23 in Leipzig, 1-3 March 2023. The meeting centres around processes of macromolecular structure formation, such as polymer crystallisation and protein fibrillation, and provides a platform to share innovative concepts bringing both fields together. Confirmed plenary speakers include: Alicyn Rhoades, Guenter Reiter, Sara Linse, Paolo Arosio, Sebastien Lecommandoux and Birgit Strodel.
Aside from classical talks, the doctoral students have organised a series of interactive sessions and workshops that allow researchers of all career stages to connect, exchange ideas and engage in lively discussions.
You are welcome to submitabstracts for talks and posters until 12 December 2022. Registration is now open!
Here you find the doctoral student’s profile of Rouven Dreyer. He published results of his doctoral studies at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and shared the research more widely with a press release.
The documentary PICTURE A SCIENTIST takes on the question why it still often is the male white scientist that comes to our minds when we hear the word „scientist“. In this film, leading female scientists in STEM take the audience on a journey through the experiences of their academic careers – as women of science.
Our project partners from Addis Ababa University (AAU), Ethiopia and Gulu University (GU), Uganda visited us for a workshop from September 2-7, 2022.
From the InGrA perspective and the subproject “Building up a Graduate Program Hub” we visited the iDiv research center and it’s graduate school yDiv and exchanged ideas about supervision agreements. We also visited the MPI of Microstructure Physics and it’s International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS-STNS) and discussed aspects of good scientific practice.
The workshop overall focused on exchange, report on the progress of the project and possible future perspectives. The workshop has been coordinated by Dr. T. Weirowski.
For its 2023 calendar, the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG, German Research Foundation) is looking for photo motifs that refer to selected DFG-funded projects and is initiating a photo competition for this purpose:
Scientists from funded projects can participate, and the most beautiful twelve motifs will be selected for the calendar. The theme of this year’s calendar is “Research Landscapes”. The term is meant metaphorically and all participants are welcome to interpret it broadly. The deadline for entries is September 15, 2022.

The hot stove, the forgotten pill: How can modern technologies make life easier for older people at home without overburdening them with technology and without patronizing them? A project of business informatics specialists and multimedia designers is developing new ideas for this.

The newly released website Wissen Schafft Karriere (in German) provides a general overview of career paths in science as well as specific opportunities for a career at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU).
So what does a career in science at MLU look like? A doctorate is often the beginning of an academic career towards a professorship. And yet, the doctorate opens up many other career opportunities, both at MLU and at many other institutions.
The compatibility of family and career or one’s own health have a significant impact on professional development and career. The website also illustrates this and show support options in working life through MLU.
Last but not least, you will find statutes, regulations and templates for various decisions and guidelines relating to career options and organisation at MLU.
