Starting a new PhD or PostDoc position brings both opportunities and challenges – especially in the complex environment of a university. Join our Welcome Day and kick-start your journey at the university! We warmly invite all new doctoral researchers, postdocs, and research assistants to take part.
The Welcome Day offers the opportunity to get in touch with other researchers at HHU, to discover essential information and program offers and to get in contact with the contact persons of the Heine Research Academies (HeRA).
HeRA wants to advance your career and training as an early career researcher also by providing a collection of useful information and links to contact points. The Heine Research Academies are open to doctoral students, postdocs and junior research group leaders as well as to supervisors of graduate research work at HHU.
