Young Academics Day
Once a year, the Vice-Rector for Human Resources Management and Development, Professor Sabine
Brück-Dürkop and the Center for Young Academics of RWTH Aachen University invite all doctoral candidates and postdocs to the Young Academics Day.
This English-language event is the perfect opportunity for early-career scholars to gather versatile and insightful information and network with peers.
