The fourth episode of "Think.Try.Transform.", the Ruhr Innovation Lab podcast, focuses on the promotion and support of doctoral students. In an interview, Dr. Christiane Wüllner, Managing Director of the RUB Research School, and Prof. Doris Reiter, Managing Director of the Dortmund Graduate School of Physics, report on the programs, offers and funding opportunities provided by the two universities - and what they believe should not be missing in a future-oriented education for doctoral students.

Spending years brooding over profound questions in a quiet little room before gaining academic honors - that was (perhaps) once upon a time. Today, the doctoral phase is much more diverse. Since the Excellence Initiative was launched around 20 years ago, universities have established new structures and opportunities for doctoral students: Doctoral students are in contact with each other, can apply for funding for their own events, go abroad and test themselves as reviewers or peer reviewers.

In the new episode of "Think.Try.Transform.", Dr. Christiane Wüllner and Prof. Doris Reiter talk to host Sven-Daniel Gettys about the opportunities currently available to doctoral students at TU Dortmund University and Ruhr-Universität Bochum. The two academics also report on the founding of the Research Academy, the cross-university platform of TU Dortmund University, Ruhr-Universität Bochum and the University of Duisburg-Essen for the promotion of early career researchers. Postdocs and doctoral candidates themselves have their say and describe which funding opportunities and programs were particularly important to them.
