The Research Seminar takes place every other Tuesday at 12 starting May 2026 and presents the audience with insights into the frontiers of condensates research. The list below is tentative and maybe changed at any time. Therefore, please consult the page regularly for updates.

The PhD Seminar is forum for presenting project ideas and work in progress between students and affiliates of the RTG 3120. Two scientists, one from the primary cohort and one from the extra cohort, are asked to present and discuss their work in around 30 minutes each (aim for 15 minutes of material to present). The focus should be on clearly explaining the background, context, scientific gap/question, aims, methods, and if available preliminary results to an interdisciplinary audience. This event of the RTG aims to support the training of RTG students into interdisciplinary scientists well-trained and versed in physics, biology, and biochemistry to bridge these fields and address biological phenomena that require a wide range of expertise.

This weekly lecture series introduces PhD students in a didactic and hands-on format to basic concepts in data handling according to the FAIR principles and good scientific practice. Using data life cycle examples in different research settings, the students will also be introduced to the available data management infrastructure on campus. Personal data management plans are also updated through out the lecture series and an introduction to preparing data for archiving, databases, and advanced computational and machine learning approaches are also included. 

The Ring Lecture takes place every Thursday at 16:40 in the summer semester of 2026, 2027 and 2028 and is dedicated to teach early career researchers the principles of condensates science and landmark research studies. The list below is tentative and maybe changed at any time. Therefore, please consult the page regularly for updates.
