Universe's most energetic particles reviewed at GRK 2149 closing event
On January 9, 2025, the Research Training Group 2149 "Strong and weak interactions - from hadrons to dark matter" celebrated nine years of successful education of PhD students with a closing ceremony. "In total 39 PhD students and 10 transition postdocs were generously funded by the DFG," said Prof. C. Weinheimer, spokesperson of the first funding period. "In addition, 23 PhD students were funded from other sources." Prof. M. Klasen, spokesperson of the second funding period, added: "20 of our PhD students continued their academic careers as postdocs at highly prestigious places such as CERN or Stanford University."
The event began with review of the Universe's most energetic particles by Prof. K.H. Kampert from the University of Wuppertal, a Münster alumnus, longtime spokesperson of the Pierre Auger observatory and member of the RTG advisory board, and continued with a party organized by the PhD students.
