Overview

Each doctoral student in Systemic Neurosciences has an individually assigned thesis committee with whom training measures are discussed and defined. Regular meetings and continuous supervision support doctoral students in mastering their challenging research projects.

In addition, the training concept of the Graduate School of Systemic Neurosciences from Ludwig-Maximilians-University (LMU) Munich, also incorporates the development of valuable transferable skills.
