Doctoral network
To support the successful completion of their doctorates, meetings of all PhD students supervised internally and externally by Prof. Dr.-Ing. Hans-Josef Endres have already been taking place half-yearly since 2015
The core objectives of the meetings are to reflect on the progress of their own doctorate, to develop a routine in presenting their own doctoral content, to discuss and exchange ideas with other doctoral candidates or with those who have successfully completed their doctorate, and to broaden their own academic horizons.
The meetings are coordinated by Dr. Florian Bittner.
