GSGS Doctoral Council presentation & call to join

The GSGS doctoral council is the central body of GSGS´s Member representation. It send representatives to various higher-level representative bodies, such as the Faculty's Doctoral Representative Council, but is also involved with planning GSGS activities like after work hangouts, etc. If you would like to join you can do so on the GSGS conference, but are also invited to let us know anytime via gsgs-admin@uni-koeln.de.

approx. 14:00-17:00

Networking for doctoral candidates

The GSGS offers an afternoon programme to all GSGS doctoral candidates. We have planned a variety of activities that will help you to get to know your peers, discuss topics that are relevant to you, and encourage you to get / keep in touch with each-other. The afternoon programme will take place online due to COVID-restrictions.

For several reasons, this year's research conference is organised by Karin and Malte of the GSGS. Next year (January 2023), we aim at having a group of PhD students organise it again (with GSGS support), as was normal in the past. We will start looking for 6-8 members of next years "OrgaTeam" at this year's conference. Consider applying for this unique experience!
