In these areas the students attend seminars, workshops, colloquia, conferences and tutorial courses (see also curriculum):

ENB Tutorial: In the beginning, all students meet weekly for approx. 4 hours to learn the basic topics like theory of entanglement, complexity, control theory, laser photonics, basic experimental set-ups etc. The presentations include on the students’ own work and on relevant work for the plenum.

Workshops: At the end of each term, all participants assemble for 3-4 days for a workshop on topics of common interest in the research field. Contact platforms with industrial representatives as well as training programmes for scientific presentation will be included.

QCCC Colloquium: The students are also encouraged to regularly attend this colloquium in which all doctoral candidates must present and discuss their Ph.D. work to a larger audience before writing up their theses.

QCCC Think Tank Seminar: In the 2nd year, all PhD students will form groups of 2 (one theorist one experimentalist). These groups elaborate novel projects and ideas, e.g. for industrial cooperation, the externships in the 3rd year or postdoc projects. The proposals will be discussed, scrutinized, and improved in a dedicated QCCC-Research Seminar.

Exchange with partners abroad: Within the 3rd year, each PhD student is obliged to spend some 3 months in an associated partner group abroad.

Tutorial courses: Each student has to be ready to assist a course held by his supervisors.

Conferences: Every year, each student attends an international conference of choice (e.g. Gordon Research Conference, NATO-ASI, QCMC).

Attendance is mandatory for participants of the QCCC-programme.

(In the rare case foreign doctoral candidates should want to graduate from their home university or gain both a Ph.D. from the Munich Universities and one in their home country they will have to notify in advance and handle administrative matters themselves.)
