Welcome Events for Doctoral Researchers

Have you just started your doctoral research period? And would like to know more about the services offered at KIT for doctoral researchers? Then come and join other German and international KIT PhD students at the Welcome Event for Doctoral Researchers.

In a presentation, we will give you plenty of information on how to best profit from the doctoral research period – including information on research stays abroad and services offered at KIT. In addition, there will be two brief testimonials by more advanced fellow researchers. They will share their experiences with you concerning doing the PhD at KIT and will be happy to answer your questions. At the end of the English-language event, there will be time for some networking during a get-together involving snacks and drinks.

The event is targeted at those who have recently started their doctorate – however, the event is open to all German and international KIT doctoral researchers.

The Welcome Event takes place four times a year. The dates for 2026 are as follows:

• Thursday, March 5
• Monday, June 8
• Wednesday, September 16
• Monday, November 9
