Successful Proposal at the Volkswagen Foundation for “Praxismodule”

From 2017 to 2019 the Volkswagen Foundation will fund so-called “Praxismodule” (‘practice modules’) to connect science and professional practice at Göttingen Graduate School of Social Sciences (GGG).
These “Praxismodule” will be specific projects that help to transfer knowledge between university and the professional environment, strengthen the ties between professional partners and science and open up further professional fields for PhD students.

“Praxismodule” enable PhD students to shape their dissertation project practice-oriented from the start, to get to know their future professional environment, to gain specific professional qualifications, and to establish lasting contacts for their future career.

Right now, for PhD students from the Faculty of Social Sciences there is funding available for one “Praxismodul”. If you have secured a three-year financing for your PhD studies, you are eligible to apply until October 15, 2017! More details can be found at www.uni-goettingen.de/en/567192.html.

GGG’s „Praxismodule“ aim at a variety of career paths and cooperate closely with the „Praxisforscher“ of the SüdniedersachsenInnovationsCampus (SNIC). „Praxisforscher“ is a similar project for all PhD students of Goettingen Campus, who spend a practical research phase at an enterprise in the southern region of Lower Saxony during their doctoral process. You will find information on both possibilities at www.uni-goettingen.de/de/567823.html.
