Panel session with and for international doctoral researchers No doubt there are many good reasons why to join a research group at KIT or why to pursue a doctorate here: such as an excellent and unique scientific infrastructure, well-equipped research facilities and competent staff, good funding opportunities and a high standard of living. Furthermore, the German doctorate enjoys an outstanding reputation which opens up various career opportunities in science, non-university research and industry. But doing research at KIT also involves some challenges for international young scientists. Most of them result from various kinds of cultural differences and misunderstandings. These can for example refer to the explicit and implicit principles, and rules of academia, the communication and social interaction with supervisors, colleagues and administrative staff, as well as general cultural rules and their impact on academic life. In this panel session two international doctoral researchers and two supervisors share their experiences with the audience and discuss expectations and challenges associated with doing research at KIT. Panel guests: Emre Toprak (Institute for Meteorology and Climate Research) Yin Cheng (Institute for Photon Science and Synchrotron Radiation) Prof. Dr. Andrew Cato (Institute of Toxicology and Genetics) Prof. Dr.-Ing. Martin Gabi (Institute of Fluid Machinery) Presented by Dr. Petra Roth, International Scholars & Welcome Office (IScO) Before the panel discussion, IScO and KHYS will briefly present their services for international doctoral researchers at KIT.
