Information

Aims, contents and method of the course

Our PhD seminars are designed to provide PhD students of the geosciences (mineralogy & crystallography, petrology und geochemistry, geology, geophysics, physical geography, paleontology) with the opportunity to showcase their research to a diverse audience, equipping them with the experience and confidence to present at larger conferences and platforms. Designed to supplement the previous individual topic-focused sessions in the Earth branch Topic Seminars, our new format offers a more inclusive and interdisciplinary space for both PhD and Master's students. Master's students are also cordially invited to attend, further diversifying the array of perspectives and discourses. Two learning objectives are pursued:
(1) Students are trained to present their own research topic in ~ 30 min in a scientific talk in a way that appeals to a broad audience, enabling understanding and subsequent discussion. For self-reflection and feedback, the talk is recorded on video and made accessible to the speaker; suggestions for improvement are provided.
(2) In this interdisciplinary course, students explore the breadth of geosciences and the wide variety of topics it encompasses. They experience the value of precise language in facilitating discussion and cooperation across different scientific disciplines.

Assessment and permitted materials

The course requires continuous attendance (> 75 %) with active participation in the scientific discussion AND an own presentation (~ 30 min, with subsequent discussion) of your own scientific project (running PhD thesis).

Minimum requirements and assessment criteria

The course requires continuous attendance (> 75 %) with active participation in the scientific discussion AND an own presentation (~ 30 min, with subsequent discussion) of your own scientific project (running PhD thesis).
