  • specialist colloquiums for the ongoing development of doctoral studies based on the presentation of intermediate findings;
  • workshops, guest presentations, lecture series on specific topics and methods;
  • events on issues relevant to all disciplines, such as academic publishing, preparing expert reports, and formulating research applications;
• devising internalization measures for doctoral training;
• promoting cooperation in doctoral training between supervisors, departments, faculties, and external institutions;
• providing support for doctoral students’ research projects;
• involving teaching staff and doctoral students in the conception and organization of support services, among others via the graduate school board.
