Doctoral students work closely with an established advisor and meet regularly with a member of the mentoring program. The broad training in polymer science\u00a0is enriched by topically related lectures and lecture series of the local faculty and international guest researchers. The training of specific research methodologies is offered to the members in two-day &#8220;Advanced Training Modules (ATM).&#8221; Our doctoral students also learn how to give professional presentations and write manuscripts for publication.<\/p>\n<h1>Funding<\/h1>\n<div class=\"clear\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/polymerscience\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_1124.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-49\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/polymerscience\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_1124-300x225.jpg\" alt=\"IMG_1124\" width=\"300\" height=\"225\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/polymerscience\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_1124-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/polymerscience\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_1124-785x589.jpg 785w, https:\/\/blogs.urz.uni-halle.de\/polymerscience\/files\/2015\/03\/IMG_1124.jpg 912w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><\/a>The Integrated Research Training Group &#8220;Polymers: random coils and beyond&#8221; is a graduate school, which is part of, but in its scope not limited to the Collaborative Research Center\u00a0<a title=\"SFB\/TRR 102\" href=\"http:\/\/www.natfak2.uni-halle.de\/forschung\/verbund\/sfbtrr102\/\">SFB\/TRR 102<\/a>\u00a0funded by the german research foundation \u201cDeutsche Forschungs Gemeinschaft\u201d (DFG).
