Notes for doctoral students

In general, all doctoral students take part in the TUM Graduate School, which offers an excellent and structured advanced training program as well as an inter- and transdisciplinary advanced training complementary to the individual doctorate program. In addition, the Leibniz PhD Network offers a plethora of opportunities for supra-regional networking and intensive professional exchange.

In cooperation with the Leibniz Association and specialist societies such as the German Chemical Society or the American Chemical Society, the Leibniz-LSB@TUM promotes participation in national and international conferences and workshops. Thereby, the Institute enables an environment in which the acquisition of scientific knowledge and professional qualifications optimally interlock.

Alina Müller and Matteo Benaglia are currently representing the doctoral students at the Leibniz-LSB@TUM. Both keep the doctoral students at the institute informed about current topics and plans of the Leibniz PhD Network and support them should problems or concerns arise at the workplace. They are also open to new ideas and suggestions for improving the working environment for doctoral students at the institute and in the Leibniz Association. They are also the first point of contact for anyone interested in doing a doctorate at the LSB who has questions on this topic.
