Promotion of young talent

The content on this page was translated automatically.

The promotion of young academics is of great concern to the University of Kassel. It wants to offer doctoral and postdoctoral students a stimulating and supportive environment. To improve the framework conditions, the Graduate Academy was established in 2014 as a university-wide forum for the promotion of young scientists.

At the University of Kassel, doctoral students can pursue doctorates in a variety of disciplines, depending on their individual research focus, and pursue corresponding doctoral degrees. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) or the challenges of the socio-ecological transformation require a comprehensive process of structural change and interdisciplinary links, which are taken into account at the University of Kassel in the training of doctoral students. The joint training of doctoral students via research associations and the Kassel Institute for Sustainability is intended to broaden the respective disciplinary view.
