Get Togethers for Female Doctoral Candidates
The Forum for Female Doctoral Candidates offers interested women a place to share experiences and information in the form of an informal network. The network is organized and planned (get togethers, joint activities) by participants themselves.
Through regularly scheduled get togethers, the candidates have the possibility to talk to other female candidates about their collective situation (or their experiences in general). The purpose is not only to cultivate cross-disciplinary communication, but also to have fun. Participants have gone bowling, played badminton, gone to Burg Vogelsang, BBQ'ed, and much more. Anyone can make suggestions about what to do.
Female doctoral candidates, who have recently moved to Aachen, can get tips for settling in and getting to know the city through the forum. Furthermore, women currently studying at the university can contact the Forum for Female Doctoral Candidates to get help in planning their own doctoral studies.
Here you can register to be included in the mailing list of the Doctoral Students Forum and manage your subscriber data.

Within the Forum for Female Doctoral Candidates, the CDS offers seminars and workshops on topics that are important for the career development of young female academics. We welcome suggestions from participants for new seminar topics.
