2021

PhD Welcoming Week

After a long break, we are back with a set of events for starting PhD students and everyone else interested in connecting across disciplines!

DDocs Cafes

When and where?
October 25 and 28 | 14:00 | Grill-Cube at Hörsaalzentrum (HSZ)

Join us for an informal after-lunch chat on campus! This is the perfect opportunity to get to know other PhD students in a relaxed environment close to your office (at least if your office is at Südvorstadt Campus). Looking forward to see you there!

Hike to Saxon Switzerland National Park

When and where?
October 30 | 08:20 | Meeting at Dresden main station on Platform 13

Let's get out of the City for half a day of retreat! Just a half an hour train ride will bring us to the beautiful landscape of Saxon Switzerland National Park. Enjoy the Elbe sandstone highlands (who are actually not that high) while getting to know nature loving PhDs from all over the world. If you haven't been there, yet, it is a must see for all Dresden students. Experienced Saxon Switzerland hikers are happily invited, too. The hike will not require special skills or equipment.

Halloween Pub Crawl

When and where?
October 30 | 19:00 | Goldener Reiter, Dresden Neustadt

Is there an easier way of networking than a pub full of PhD students? Join us for a pub crawl through the best pubs of Dresden Neustadt, Dresden's young, artistic and alternative quater! If you ever wondered, why the old town becomes a ghost-town at night, it's because everyone left for Neustadt!
