Registration:

We have decided to make the Graduate Centers qualification program avilable via the booking portal of Kiel University's Continuing Professional Development Center with immediate effect. You will find the respective courses listed under the category Exclusively for Doctoral Researchers. They are free of charge for doctoral researchers who are registered with the Graduate Center. To get access to these courses you must be registered with the Graduate Center, here.

Registrations are welcome until 18 January 2026. We will then determine whether the minimum number of 10 participants has been reached. Should the minimum number of participants not have been reached, the event will not take place due to financial reasons. Once the minimum number of participants has been reached, further registrations are possible until 8 days before the event begins.
