Sustainable Research and Leadership

Academic exchange and interdisciplinary learning are vital for young researchers and their professional development. To foster innovation and exchange, GIRO organizes the International PhD Week 2024 providing an excellent educational experience here at Trier! The summer school will take place from September 23 to 27, 2024.

Enhancement of Skills

The International PhD Week focusses on knowledge transfer and the enhancement of interdisciplinary skills and cross-cutting competences. The program consists of engaging workshops across Trier University of Applied Sciences’ three research areas Sustainability, Digitalization, and Life Sciences, fascinating keynotes on current issues within applied research, and exciting field trips with opportunities to engage with policy makers and research stakeholders. By studying across disciplines and learning from different educational systems, the participants broaden their perspectives and enrich their academic and professional development.

Cultural Exchange and Diversity

Collaborating with international partners exposes the PhD students to diverse cultures, ideas and practices and offers opportunities to reflect on intercultural competences. The International PhD Week creates opportunities for students and faculty to build international networks that can lead to collaborative research projects, academic exchanges, and career opportunities

Participation in the International PhD Week 2024 is free of charge. All activities, travel, and accommodation costs are covered by funding from the German Academic Exchange Service (DAAD).
