Integrated Research Training Group

Integrated research training group

The scientific research in the proposed CRC will be embedded in a structured training program, which is essential for shaping the next generation of outstanding research leaders for future activities in the field of hadron and nuclear physics.

To ensure an inspiring environment for graduate education, key measures, including a structured qualification scheme, special graduate lectures, a graduate club and annual graduate school, short-term recruitment stipends, and travel grants, will be implemented which will make it possible to impart knowledge, build team spirit, and foster both domestic and international networks.

IRTG Council

The Integrated Research Training Group Council is the body of all the young researchers of the CRC. The IRTG Council is in charge of the key aspects of the student’s training program detailed in the previous section. It organises the Graduate Club, fixes the actual content and plans the agenda of these seminars. It also suggests topics for the Graduate Lectures, both general and topical.The IRTG Council meets at least once a year to elect a spokesperson and deputy spokesperson.These elected junior members of the CRC are the official representatives of the doctoral and postdoctoral researchers in the managing board of the CRC.They will attend all PL assemblies of the CRC and provide a means of communication between the young researchers and the management of the CRC.

The current Spokesperson and Deputy Spokesperson of the Council are:

Graduate Club and Graduate School

The graduate club is a seminar series organised by the students for the students: the talks will be given by the students themselves for their peers. In addition to exposing them to other fields of research within this CRC, this club will help them develop social, presentational, and organisational competencies. Once a year, a graduate school (Hyperlink to Events “Meeting and Retreats ) of four days will take place during which all the members of the CRC will meet for a general update on the status of the different projects.

Next graduate club

Graduate Lectures

Once a year, a general as well as a topical lecture series will be organised for the students of the CRC. These lectures will mostly be given by two lecturers to cover both experimental and theoretical aspects. The general lectures will be mandatory for all students whereas the topical lectures will be optional, since they will focus on specific topics that will be relevant for particular students and projects.
