16.04.2024 – This May the „Freie Universität Berlin“ is going to elect a doctoral council for a first time. This is a great development. In this context our very own Benita Schmitz (second spokesperson) was invited by campus.leben to discuss together with Markus Edler, the managing director of the Dahlem Research School of the “Freien Universität Berlin”, about the chances and the design of such an doctoral representation.
In the online magazine of the FU Berlin Benita Schmitz pointed out how important it is to have a representation of interests specific for doctoral researchers and that our aim as German-wide association is to connect those:
“If someone from Cologne reports about problems, it is highly probable that someone from Jena, Hamburg or Tübingen has the same difficulties. This is what make networking in the German-wide association so worthwhile: we can bundle, process and work together on those topics.”
