A whole day and night dedicated to doctoral candidates: On 19 September the Graduate School and the Graduate Council warmly welcome all doctoral candidates at TUM to a tailor-made program designed exclusively for the doctoral community! The program will take place at the main campus (Theresienstraße 90 / Arcisstraße 21).

The TUM Doctoral Day (2:00 – 6:00 p.m.) is dedicated to the theme of collaboration in science and offers valuable insights into personal experiences, opportunities, and topics relevant to doctoral researchers. After the opening keynote by Prof. Dr. Melita Kovačević on “Creating Positive Impact Through Collaboration”, you’ll have the chance to connect with the Graduate Centers, get advice at the info and interaction fair, take part in our impulse workshops, and join a panel discussion exploring how trustful, productive collaboration can succeed, even under challenging conditions.

TUMblue (6:30 p.m. – 2:00 a.m.) celebrates our doctoral candidates. Under the motto “TUMblue da ba dee da ba di – Defend your thesis, not your dance moves”, the Graduate Council is hosting a vibrant evening with live music and a DJ. Free food and drinks will be provided.
