Coordinators

We support the coordinators of doctoral programs in

• the recruitment of doctoral students (online application tool)
• public relations
• quality assurance (evaluations)

In addition, we offer coordinators

The meetings serve as a platform for the coordinators to exchange experiences and to network with each other. In this way, new doctoral programs can profit from the experiences of established programs.
