PhD Information

This wiki hopes to cover most information regarding the admin part about doing a PhD at IMK, however there are many other places that also supply information and some are listed here.

General Information for PhD Students

A nice overview about doing a doctorate at IMK(TRO) can be found here.

PhD Council and Representatives

We have now started a PhD Council at IMK with two representatives in charge of the contact with the group leaders. We are informally in charge of adding things to this wiki as well as other projects for improving PhD life at IMK. If you are interested in joining us or you have small or big ideas send us an email at imk-phd-council@lists.kit.edu!

We are aiming at organising a bi-annual PhD Assembly to improve our networking as well as an opportunity to voice any concerns. These will hopefully be in conjunction with the semester start and will be announced in the TRO Newsletter as well through the PhD emailing lists.
