Münster Centre for Emerging Researchers (CERes)

Welcome to the website of the Münster Centre for Emerging Researchers (CERes). In 2023, the former WWU Graduate Centre became a research centre. As such, we continue to accompany you as an internal academy, dear doctoral researchers and postdocs, on the paths you take in your training. In close proximity to research, as well as working closely with the faculties – and also with a view to a variety of career paths – we contribute to a research culture which lives up to its responsibilities to society, makes emerging researchers strong and raises their visibility.
