A warm welcome to the new DoSChem PhD students

  • On November 11th, our onboarding event for newly admitted doctoral students took place at Lecture Hall 3 (Hörsaal 3, Haus 1). A total of 36 students attended, engaging in our talk about DoSChem, the doctoral program at the Faculty of Chemistry, followed by a Q&A session.                                                                Afterward, we enjoyed coffee and cake, providing a wonderful opportunity to connect with the new students. Additionally, the students had the chance to participate in a special lecture on “Navigating Communication Safely in a Multicultural Environment” by Svitlana Kalitsun, which offered valuable insights for those joining our diverse academic community.

DoSChem at the PhD Orientation Week

  • The aim of the "PhD Orientation Week" is to help new doctoral candidates to orientate themselves at the University of Vienna. It takes place at the beginning of each winter semester. At this event you will receive important information concerning the doctorate, make first contacts with established researchers and peers, and get to know the University of Vienna.

Kickoff at the Danube

16 July 2024

  • Summer in Danube: Our PhD students recently traded their study desks for sun loungers as they escaped the soaring office temperatures for a day of fun and relaxation on the Danube Island. With cool drinks in hand and the sun shining, they enjoyed delicious food, lively conversations, and friendly competition in volleyball, padel tennis, spikeball, and frisbee. It was the perfect opportunity to unwind, recharge, and strengthen team bonds.

PhD Students' as Ceramic Artists

In May, our students chose an interactive, hands-on workshop at "Made by you" ceramics manufacture for their social get-together activity and let their inner artist shine with claymates!

They explored their creative side alongside fellow studnets and PIs by painting nad personalizing their mugs and ceramic piesces!

We hope this bonding event (38 participants) was fun and that the participants not only took their own artwork home, but also made some new connections!

In the end, the painting session was rounded off with socializing and networking at "The Golden Harp", an Irish pub.

DoSChem participation in the 41st Vienna City Marathon

Congratulations to all our DoSChem students and PIs who participated in the Vienna City Marathon 2024!

It was a cold morning in Vienna on April 21st, the day of the Vienna City Marathon 2024. However, as the sun was rising several DoSChem students and PIs once again gathered their running shoes and took off to the starting line and nothing less than a fantastic running day should follow! DoSChem was able to sponsor several relays, where four people share the full marathon distance of 42.195 km as part of our teambuilding/networking activities.  We are very happy that all our relays made it to the finish line, showcasing that our students and PIs do not only have tremendous endurance when it comes to research!

We also want to thank the Betriebliche Gesundheitsförderung (BGF) of the Uni Wien for contributing funding and running shirts for our teams. Finally, we also want to thank Julia, Hòa and Moritz for behind the scene support for our runners and all student representatives (Hòa, Moritz, Christina and Chiara) for the organisation of the event!
