The Senate of the German Research Foundation (DFG) has approved the second funding period for the International Research Training Group “TreeDi – 林地 – Tree Diversity Interactions: The role of tree-tree interactions in local neighbourhoods in Chinese subtropical forests (GRK 2324)”.
The RTG focuses on the question of how trees interact and cooperate with each other within a forest, for example by exchanging nutrients via roots and fungal partners. The PhD projects are dedicated to the underlying processes and mechanisms of this cooperation.
The International Research Training Group “TreeDi – 林地 – Tree Diversity Interactions” is jointly operated by the MLU and the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS). Hosting institution is the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig.

The election proposals for the 2022 university elections have now been published. These are the candidates you can vote for.
Please check the corresponding website (in German).
This year, the elections for the doctoral representatives will take place together with the university elections (senate, faculty councils), the elections for the equal opportunities colleges and the elections for the StuRa and the departmental councils as an internet-based online election (electronic election). Voting is possible from 09.05.2022 to 16.05.2022.
The doctoral representatives in all faculties will be elected in 2022.
If doctoral candidates are also employees or students of the university, they also have the right to vote for the university committees (senate, faculty councils).
There are free slots at this workshop organised by research training group “BEAM (RTG 2670): Self-Organization of Soft Matter via Multiple Noncovalent Interactions”.
As a scientist, we often work in a cross-cultural setting. Our research groups are international, we collaborate around the globe, and most of us will spend part, -or even all- of our career abroad. We can and should feel privileged to work in such a diverse and intercultural work environment. But these cultural and -of course- also individual differences can lead to all manners of misunderstandings. These misunderstandings can lead to a broad variety of undesired consequences, such as failed collaborations, frustrations, feelings of hurt, anxiety and anger, culture shock and missed opportunities for knowledge transfer.
Cultural awareness is the first step in sidestepping these undesired consequences. During this course you will improve your cross-cultural understanding, so you can tap into the full potential of your intercultural teams.
Research Academy Leipzig has released the third episode “Wie wir mit Kind promovieren” of its podcast “Wir wir promovieren” (“How we do our doctorate”). Two doctoral researchers from Leipzig University talk about their experiences on a topic relevant to their doctorate. Until now, all episodes are in German. However, non-German-speakers are very much encouraged to participate.
The deans of the faculties and Rector Prof. Dr. Christian Tietje will present the doctoral certificates to doctoral graduates on April 29, 2022. The university awards will be presented by Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Paul.
The ceremony will take place from 3-5pm in the Löwengebäude.
This is an event organised by the Graduate Academy of Leibniz University Hannover (LUH). The event will be held in German.
Together with the guests Dr. Jannika Lauth (Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry) and Dr. Jens Langejürgen (Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation), the participants will talk about strategies for a successful return after a stay abroad as a postdoc. The guests will report on their everyday research life abroad and how they found their way back into the German research sector. Let’s inspire you! You will find registration options and further information on the website:
