Here you will find an overview of all topics covered by KHYS' further education program FIT for your next career step and the appropriate courses if you are looking for support in specific areas.
FIT-course offerings include courses aimed at doctoral researchers, at postdocs or at both. Training events that are specifically intended for doctoral researchers (D) or postdocs (P) are marked accordingly. The categorisation of the individual courses into the specific ▶ FIT-career modules is indicated with corresponding symbols.
KHYS uses the expertise of established external trainers as well as KIT institutions for its broad spectrum of quality-assured further education courses.
| The further education courses are partly funded by the Federal Ministry of Education and Research (BMBF) and the Baden-Württemberg Ministry of Science, Research and the Arts as part of the Excellence Strategy of the German Federal and State Governments as well as by the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association. |
Research skills form an important field of development for your current tasks during the doctoral and postdoc phase and for a career in science. But some topics are also central for career paths in industry and for setting up your own business.
