The MMGS Welcome Event is the first event in a academic year and gives new and old doctoral students a chance to strengthen personal connections, horizontally across the disciplines. Here, the new doctoral students have a chance to get to know the professors of the mathematical institutes and get a chance to choose a mentor.
On October 23, 2024, the Mathematics Münster Graduate School held its Welcome Event, which served both as an informative session for new doctoral students and as an opportunity for new and returning members to get to know each other.
The event began with MMGS PhD representatives Simone Ramello, Isabel Lammers, and David Steigenberger introducing MMGS, the work of the representatives, and the support available for doctoral students.
Dr. Imke Franzmeier from the Cluster’s early-career support team gave a “MM Spotlight” presentation, which addressed what a good start to a PhD looks like, covering topics such as what one can expect from supervision, how to communicate with mentors, and how the Graduate School’s mentoring system works. Following the spotlight, some of the Cluster’s investigators introduced themselves as potential mentors.
In the evening, there was time for the new and returning doctoral students to eat, drink, and chat.
