Integriertes Graduiertenkolleg "School of Nanophotonics" (MGK)

Ziel des integrierten Graduiertenkollegs (iGRK) "School of Nanophotonics" des Sonderforschungsbereichs SFB 787 ist, dieEntwicklung junger Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler zu fördern. Der SFB 787 bietet einerseits mit den exzellenten Forschungsprojekten eine passende Umgebung, um eine tiefgehende fachliche Ausbildung der Doktorandinnen undDoktoranden zu gewährleisten, andererseits bietet das iGRK eine Struktur für überfachliche Angebote zur professionellenWeiterbildung. Das iGRK fördert die wissenschaftliche Unabhängigkeit und internationale Sichtbarkeit seiner Mitglieder sowie den wissenschaftlichen Austausch untereinander.

Integrated Research Training Group Semiconductor Nanophotonics: Material, Models, Devices

The goal of the Integrated Research Training Group (RTG) School of Nanophotonics of the Collaborative

Research Center SFB 787 (CRC 787) is to attract young researchers and to promote their scientific development.The excellent research environment within the CRC 787 is combined with an in-depth scientific educationand a structured program to advance their professional skills. The RTG encourages the scientific independenceand visibility of its members, provides advanced training and transferable skills, and offers a stimulatingenvironment for scientific exchange, discussions, and education.
The key elements of the RTG are the Doktorandenseminar (participation is mandatory), specialized lectures,
and an annual 3-days CRC workshop for the scientific education. Moreover, transferable-skills workshops, the
annual Nanophotonics day a compact introduction to topics such as patents, career options, etc. , and
travel to international conferences as well as summer schools, in particular the iNOW, is essential for education
in a broader sense. The travel funds provided by the RTG to the PhD students are particularly important for
encouraging the scientific independence and international visibility of the PhD students.
