MCQST Student Retreats
MCQST wants to encourage innovative ideas and cooperation early on in academic careers. To reach this goal, we fund students retreats or conferences organized by PhD students in the MCQST community. The format and topic for these retreats lies in your hands: would you and your colleagues like to take some time to explore a specific topic? How about inviting a lecturer to dive deeper into the theory behind your experiment or learn more about a specific technique? Or work out a new, innovative idea together with other PhD students and postdocs from a different group?
The retreat could be a one-day seminar in Munich or a workshop of up to five-days in the Bavarian Alps. You can cooperate internationally or within your institution, in smaller or in bigger groups. In general, the event should be open to all interested MCQST students.
