Doctorate

The doctoral phase is a time of intensive research as well as personal and professional development. The HRA supports you with a wide range of interdisciplinary workshops, individual career counseling, writing support, coaching opportunities, and networking events. In close collaboration with the graduate schools of Hamburg’s universities, we provide information on relevant funding programs, offer guidance on balancing research and personal life, and create spaces for exchange with other doctoral researchers, postdocs, and professors.

The science communication workshop was super hands-on. We discussed possible goals and strategies and even presented our own elevator pitches. And then? Lunch, snacks, drinks – and to round things off, a science slam. Very well organized and with an open, friendly atmosphere. I’d be happy to join again!
