Training and Supervision

The structured training program of RTG 3120 will enable PhD candidates to take interdisciplinary approaches in studying condensates, clearly communicate with scientists from other fields, and prepare for a stimulating scientific career. From onboarding and individualised research and training plans, to seminars, lab rotations, retreats, and thesis writing: RTG 3120 PIs will guide the students every step of the way and offer close supervision and mentoring. You can also consult the DFG website for PhD students that explains what a research training group is and what to expect.

Associated Researchers

In addition to the newly recruited cohort of doctoral candidates, researchers in Dresden already working in the condensates field are actively integrated into the RTG to benefit from the structured training and supervision, and at the same time support new students in quickly integrating into their research groups and the research environment in Dresden.
