Once a year, doctoral researchers from all 96 Leibniz Institutes gather for the largest meeting of the Leibniz PhD Network. It is a time to connect, collaborate, and address the current and future challenges of doctoral researchers. From insightful discussions to invaluable networking opportunities, the General Assembly is a cornerstone event for the Leibniz PhD Network. This year, we meet at FLI in Jena.
