General Meeting Group
The PhDnet General Meeting is an annual meeting of PhD representatives and interested doctoral researchers of the Max Planck Society.
The meeting provides the opportunity to get to know the PhDnet and have an exchange between new and experienced PhD representatives from different institutes. Furthermore, the program of the General Meeting typically includes reports from the Steering Group and Workgroups, as well as discussions of concerns shared by doctoral researchers.
More specifically, the following topics are covered:
- Introduction of the PhDnet
- Presentation of the work done in the PhDnet during the past year and defining goals for the work of the PhDnet in the upcoming year
- Discussions with representatives of the Max Planck Society - past meetings were often attended by the MPS president or a vice president as well as representatives of the Administrative Headquarters
- Election of the Steering Group and recruitment of members for the Workgroups
- Social events (e.g. meeting dinner, visit to a local science-related attraction)
The General meeting 2025 will be held on 13-15 October in Berlin, at the MPI for Molecular Genetics, with the option of attending online. Every doctoral researcher is invited to join! The meeting is still under planning, but more details will be announced soon. Do you want to help us? Feel free to write us an email.
