The support for doctoral candidates is jointly carried out by the supervisors of the university and university of applied sciences. The lecture thus serves as a central drop-in for all parties. It offers organisational support for the doctorate process and forms the basis for joint scientific initiatives. It offers consultation for each phase of the doctorate besides a variety of themed network events. The lecture aims to extend the network and appreciates new contacts and inquiries from interested new members and universities.
