Research Training Groups: Promoting Doctoral Candidates

Research Training Groups are fixed-term institutions, financially supported by the German Research Foundation, for the promotion of junior academics. They provide doctoral candidates with the opportunity to pursue their projects within the framework of a co-ordinated research program and to profit from the mentorship of several university professors.
