#17 Newsletter Graduate Center
The new structure of our newsletter is topic-based and no longer based on deadlines. The main topics collected and delivered by the Graduate Center's newsletter are:
networking and exchange with (early-career) researchers, mental health, (transferable) skills, as well as career topics. Further, we send out selected funding opportunities and calls especially for early-career researchers. You will find this structure now also on our website under "workshops and events".
