By inviting leading external scientists to participate in teaching, we give PhD students the possibility to create scientific networks on local, national and international levels. In addition, courses aiming at promoting personal development and leadership skills are offered. The graduate program is completed with site visits at research institutes and companies that operate laboratories related to our main research areas.
