Aims and Curriculum

The curriculum is meant to support doctoral students and postdocs in their respective phase of scientific development, as well as to prepare them for further research and/or jobs in challenging positions.

To this end, the curriculum of the GGS‘ (further) training programme is designed to help doctoral students and postdocs to acquire both professional and further skills.
