Doctoral seminar 2023 – Where do I stand on the path to my doctorate?
This year it was "The same procedure as every year!". Internal and external doctoral students accepted Prof Thomas Lampke's invitation and presented the current status of their doctoral project from 10 July 2023 - 12 July 2023. Currently, 29 young scientists are working towards a doctorate at the Chair of Materials and Surface Engineering or a habilitation. As some of them are already close to completion, 17 doctoral candidates were invited to give presentations and take part in discussions. Strengthened by the feedback from their supervisor Prof Lampke and selected experts, the doctoral students can now pursue the next milestones of their doctorate.
