Collaborative Research Centres provide an excellent research environment for doctoral students. For this reason the DFG offers Integrated Research Training Groups (IRTG), or Graduate Schools, with the aim to equip doctoral students with the competence and skills necessary for a successful professional career, be it in academia or industry.
The EASE IRTG provides high-quality training to doctoral researchers to obtain key skills and expert knowledge. It offers measures and activities to ensure and safeguard that they receive the best possible support in the start-up phase of their career, professionally and personally.
Its qualification program includes topic-based seminars and workshops as well as an annual Fall School. Below you find an overview of the program.
