The summer meeting offers young researchers the opportunity to publicize their projects. "Our event is intended to strengthen interdisciplinary networking among doctoral students, postdocs and their supervisors at the University of Kassel," says Dr. Isabelle Schulze of the Graduate Academy.

Part of the event is the "GradLAB". Here, young scientists present their research in five-minute short talks. The audience decides who has given the best, most interesting and most entertaining talk.

The Georg Forster Award is also presented at the summer meeting of the PhD Network. The young researchers from Kassel, Dr. Natalie Grimm and Dr. Ellen Ehmke, will each be awarded the prize for their dissertations. Grimm wrote a dissertation on the topic "Status acrobatics. Biographical processing patterns of status inconsistencies in the course of employment", Ehmke wrote a thesis entitled "Welfare Development in Developing Countries" The Georg Forster Prize is awarded every two years for excellent and interdisciplinary doctorates, postdoctoral theses or artistic works. The prize is sponsored by the Universitätsgesellschaft Kassel e.V.

Prof. Dr. Sigrid James, professor at the Department of Theories and Methods of Social Pedagogy, will also give a lecture on the topic of scientific ethics. The title is "Research on People" and deals with the development of research ethics in Germany.
