International Giessen Graduate Centre for the Life Sciences (GGL)
- 14th GGL Annual Conference 2021
- The International Giessen Graduate Centre for the Life Sciences invites you to the 14th GGL Conference at 29 - 30 September, 2021. For the second time in a row the conference will take place virtually.
- International Giessen Graduate Centre for the Life Sciences
- The GGL provides an interdisciplinary, concisely structured graduate programme for all life science disciplines at the Justus Liebig University, in the fields of Human, Dental and Veterinary Medicine, Psychology and Sport Sciences, Biology, Chemistry, Nutritional and Agricultural and Environmental Sciences. Based on our diversity of disciplines and nationalities, we have built a comprehensive concept for doctoral research where a topic-oriented doctoral project is embedded in the multidisciplinary research background of the GGL. We offer seminars, practical courses, research retreats and essential skills for academic and business careers.
- Wege in die Promotion 2021
-
Most people interested in graduation ask the same questions: Where should I start? How do I finance my PhD-project and most importantly: Does a doctoral degree really match with my personal interests?
Like every year, the GGL joins forces with several teaching centres and organisations to deliver some answers. In “Wege in die Promotion 2021” we address financing, organisation and the local peculiarities of a graduation at the JLU. The event takes place on 10th June in various virtual rooms held via Webex from 10 a.m to 4. 15 p.m.
- Welcome to our new members!
- We would like to welcome our 15 new members for this summer semester 2021, who will start their doctoral research with the support of the GGL this semester and wish them all the best! For the coming 3 years we will assist you in your doctoral studies and look forward to witness your progress in your respective field of life sciences. This year’s international doctoral candidates from China, India, Jordan, Kosovo and the Netherlands join their German colleagues benefiting from the international environment of our centre and university. Despite the special circumstances due to the pandemic, we hope to offer you the best support throughout your doctoral studies.
- Lehre 4.0 - E-Learning for Young Academics
-
The project "Lehre 4.0 - E-Learning for Young Academics" is a joint project between the Giessen Graduate Centre for Social, Economic and Legal Sciences (GGS) as the lead centre, the Giessen University Computer Centre (HRZ), the International Graduate Centre for Study of Culture (GCSC/GGK), the International Giessen Graduate Centre for Life Sciences (GGL) and the Centre for Foreign Language and Occupational Skills (ZfbK). The aim of the project is to bundle and expand existing education programmes in the field of digitised university teaching at the JLU in order to qualify and support young teachimg scientists in the use of digital media in university teaching.

- Testimonials of our Alumni
-
While we hosted our Life Science Bridges Event in the summer of 2017, we interviewed some of our alumni about their time as a member of the GGL. We also asked them to pass some advice and experience on to new generations of young researchers. Take a look at their testimony to find out, where they are now and what they have to say.
