Erstes länderübergreifendes Netzwerktreffen von DoktorandInnen der Uni Graz

Auf Initiative von Maartje Roelofsen, niederländische Dissertantin am Institut für Geographie und Raumforschung, und mit Unterstützung des DocService fand am 12. Dezember 2014 das erste Netzwerktreffen internationaler DoktorandInnen der Uni Graz statt. Insgesamt 60 DissertantInnen aus dem In- und Ausland trafen sich zum Austausch über gemeinsame Schwierigkeiten und mögliche Lösungen im Uni Café. Dazu Dr. Stefanie Lerch vom DocService: „Die große Resonanz auf diese Veranstaltung zeigt das Bedürfnis der internationalen Docs nach Vernetzung und Unterstützung.“ Die Vorschläge für spezifische Angebote wurden gesammelt und werden vom DocService gemeinsam mit Maartje Roelofsen in eine neu zu gründende Netzwerkgruppe inter/nationaler DoktorandInnen eingebracht.
