Joint Educational programs by QFIRS, TerraQ RTG, and IMPRS on Gravitational-Wave Astronomy Hannover (2006 - 2023)

Structure

Three structured doctoral or ECR programs,

QuantumFrontiers International Research School (QFIRS),

TerraQ Research Training Group (TerraQ RTG) and

International Max Planck Research School on Gravitational Wave Astronomy (IMPRS on GW)(2006-2023)

coordinate and offer joint educational programs. Historically, these joint activities started when a former SFB geo-Q began in 2014, and the geo-Q RTG and IMPRS on GW (2006-2023) started to organize joint activities together for PhD students and postdocs for IMPRS on GW and geo-Q RTG members. With the start of the new SFB TerraQ and the Cluster of Excellence QuantumFrontiers in 2019, QFIRS started to bring everything together and offer educational programs jointly to ECRs in all involved schools.

Members

All Early Career Researchers of QuantumFrontiers are members of QFIRS,

all PhD students in AEI Hannover are members of IMPRS on GW,

and all doctoral researchers and postdocs financed by the TerraQ are members of the RTG.

In addition, doctoral researchers and postdocs from other projects and schools can also be included in the RTG program.

Curriculum

The basic principle of the education for all our Early Career Researchers (ECRs) is that they should not only learn their own specialty but also get a basic knowledge of what all the others are doing in the QuantumFrontiers and a set of general skills that are vital for their future. We realize this with the three pillars:

Specialized lectures offered regularly at Leibniz Universität Hannover

QFIRS/TerraQ Lecture Weeks

Professional Skills Training and other seminars

Other Events

In addition, we provide information on other lectures, seminars, and workshops. Page under construction
