Doctoral Academy Day 2023 - Making a Difference? Communicating Scientific Research in Challenging Times

Throughout their studies, every doctoral candidate eventually faces the question: How can I effectively communicate my research findings to the general public?

In light of increasingly dire research results – as are abundant in times of multiple crises – effective communication between science and society becomes increasingly crucial, ultimately raising the question of researcher responsibilities.

After all, if the research community does not talk straight – who else will?

This year's Doctoral Academy Day delves into the realm of science communication and related questions of researcher responsibilities in the face of concrete threats to societal well-being.

What: Making a Difference? Communicating Scientific Research in Challenging Times

When: November 23, 2023, 2.00–4.30 pm (12.30 pm Pre-Conference Drinks & Lunch)

Where: Unicorn Conference Deck, Schubertstraße 6a, 8010 Graz

Programme and Register: https://doctoral-academy.uni-graz.at/de/jaehrliche-events/doctoral-academy-day/

Get-Together & Get to Know Graz

Have you recently started as an international doctoral/PhD candidate at the University of Graz? If you want to get to know your peers and Graz, register now for our Get-Together in November.

Welcome to Graz & the University of Graz – Let us take you for a walk through the city!

In collaboration with the Welcome Center, the Doctoral Academy invites you to an afternoon walk through the city of Graz.

On this walk, we will stroll through the campus of the University, showing you the most important contact points for your doctoral studies. Then, we will explore the city of Graz, showing you important places to go along the way, so that you know where to have a cocktail, go out for dinner or find a cozy café in Graz. We will conclude our get-together with a (free) evening dinner and drinks.

When: November 16, 2023, starting at 4 pm

Where: The meeting point will be communicated shortly before the event
