Snippets of the Network

Be­tween 31 March and 1 April 2022 the doc­toral stu­dents of the Inter­na­tional Doc­torate Pro­gram “Re­think­ing Envi­ron­ment - The Envi­ron­men­tal Hu­mani­ties and the Transfor­mation of So­ciety” intro­duced their re­search pro­jects to peers and advi­sors in the first collo­qui­um of the pro­gram. The event took place at LMU Mu­nich and at the Uni­versi­ty of Augsburg.

With the semi­nar, the ex­clu­sive sup­port offers of the Elite Net­work of Ba­varia were ex­tend­ed to the school sec­tor. High­ly gifted high school stu­dents can par­tici­pate in se­lected soft skill semi­nars of the Elite Net­work of Ba­varia.

Due to the corona pandemic, the Bavarian State Minister of Science Bernd Sibler honored the graduates of the Elite Network of Bavaria at the first digital graduation ceremony.

We invit­ed all new mem­bers to our ‘Get To­geth­er’. Get­ting to know each other and the activ­ities of­fered by the Elite Net­work of Ba­varia was the major aim of this event. Due to the ongo­ing pan­dem­ic, the event took place online.

In the pod­cast “Honors-Espresso”, alum­ni from the Elite Grad­uate Pro­gram "Honors in Busi­ness, Eco­nom­ics, and In­for­mation Sys­tems" at the Uni­versi­ty of Re­gens­burg chat about their stud­ies and ca­reers post-graduation. All epi­sodes are ac­cessi­ble free of charge via the Hon­ors homepage or com­mon pod­cast apps. We hope you enjoy lis­tening!

As part of the first Top­Math Online Sem­inar, Prof. Nico­la Fusco (Uni-versità degli Studi di Napo­li) gives in­sights into the world of geo­met­ric measure theo­ry and ex­plains the solu­tion to a math­emat­ical prob­lem that is thou­sands of years old.

Augsburg Uni­versi­ty and LMU Mu­nich cele­brate the start of the Inter­na­tional Doc­torate Pro­gram "Rethinking Environment", which sup­ports 20 doc­toral stu­dents in the Envi­ron­men­tal Hu­mani­ties. Speakers in­clud­ed Prof. Dr. Mat­thias Schmidt, PD Dr. Simone Mül­ler and Prof. Dr. Chris­tof Mauch.

At the start of the new se­mes­ter, stu­dents in the Mu­nich Elite Grad­uate Pro­gram "The­oreti­cal and Math­emat­ical Phys­ics" mount the Jochberg to get to know each other before the pan­demic leads to an­other se­mes­ter of main­ly online teach­ing.

Members of the International Doctorate Program „Receptor Dynamics“ met in Kloster Bronnbach and discussed their PhD thesis projects.

Dur­ing the first week of the se­mes­ter a col­lec­tion of social and in­form­ative events were of­fered to our new stu­dents of the Elite Grad­uate Pro­gram "Bi­omedical Neu­rosci­ence".
