FS-Seminar

We, the Doctoral Student Representation at TU Wien, organize a seminar once per year.

The focus is on getting to know each other, building a strong network among doctoral students, and further developing our activities together. Of course, there will also be time to relax and socialize after the working sessions. The seminar takes place from Friday, October 9 (noon) to Sunday, October 11 (evening). Accommodation, food, and travel costs are fully covered.

A key part will be to plan events for the upcoming winter semester together, such as our grill events, networking events, and other activities for doctoral students. We will also introduce you to the structures, services, and support systems available at TU Wien, so you can take this knowledge back to your departments and help improve communication and engagement.

Can I join?

If you are a doctoral candidate at TU Wien, you are welcome to apply. It does not matter which field you are in or what stage of your PhD you are currently at. If you are already involved in the doctoral student representation — or would like to get involved — this seminar is a great opportunity to get started.

How much does it cost?

Nothing. All costs (accommodation, food, travel, etc.) are covered by us.

Interested?

Then fill out our registration form — we just need a few details from you.

Please note that places are limited. We will inform you as soon as possible whether you can join. If you have any questions, feel free to contact us at: fsdr@fsdr.at

We are looking forward to meeting you!
