Useful Informations for Doctoral Students

The information (German)we have compiled is intended to help with the financing of doctoral projects and the associated research costs.

We have written this summary with Information of time limited qualification positions (German) as information for doctoral students with qualification positions.

Tasks and Goals

We articulate and promote the interests of doctoral researchers at the University of Erfurt. We facilitate an interdisciplinary and cross-faculty exchange on matters relevant to doctoral studies and contribute to an interdisciplinary, cooperative and international doctoral culture. In addition, it is our task to make recommendations on all relevant matters in the university administration and political bodies such as the senate (Senat) or the faculty councils (Fakultätsräten Empfehlungen). Last but not least, we would like to support networking and exchange among doctoral researchers at the university.
