The GRS is offering PhD and postdoctoral researchers access to an e-learning platform with over 40 tailored courses - flexible, free of charge, and accessible throughout 2026. Register by May 29, 2026.

As part of the DeCarbon Days on June 25, 2026, at BTU, the “DeCarbon Drafts” competition offers doctoral researchers a stage to present their findings in an innovative pitch format and win attractive prizes.

From September 7 to 11, 2026, the Berlin School of Economics and Law (HWR Berlin) will once again host an international summer school for doctoral researchers. Applications are open until May 29, 2026. The summer school offers the opportunity to learn about career paths for scientists at universities of applied sciences.

In this English-language online workshop, BTU doctoral and postdoctoral researchers will receive a practical introduction to using AI tools for research and academic writing, including opportunities, limitations, and ethical considerations.

The junior research group led by Dr. Marius Klug was evaluated on 15 December 2025. Following the successful completion of this interim evaluation, the Young Investigator Group “Intuitive XR” has been extended until March 2028.

On 2 December 2025, the BTU Welcome Centre, the Graduate Research School, and the PhD Programme Coordination once again organised an end-of-year event for young researchers at BTU and their families.

The first onboarding event for new doctoral candidates at BTU Cottbus-Senftenberg proved to be a successful networking event that made a significant contribution to the participants getting to know each other and exchanging ideas.

In the winter semester, the Research Department will once again be organising a series of seminars on grant applications to support BTU researchers in their efforts to secure external funding.

The Second Research Day took place on October 15 at the Senftenberg Campus. Young researchers supported by the GRS also received awards.
