The members of GRK 2642 visited the German Hub. We met Diego Rivas who presented the work of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - German Research Foundation at the Westcoast which includes bridging German and American research.
We also received information about the several opportunities that PhD students could take up, both as visiting researchers, as well as post-doctoral fellows.
A feedback session was organized wherein we shared our experience as PhD students that are part of the research training group funded by the DFG: the soft skill trainings, research visits and other opportunities we received. We also discussed and exchange ideas on involving more universities, research institutes and companies in the future.
