Short Summary

The Integrated Research Training Group (German: Modul Graduiertenkolleg, MGK) has been working very successfully since the first funding period of the Transregio 80. It addresses young researchers (YRs) who work in the research projects of the Transregio, including students, PhD students and postdocs. The PhD students become members of an Integrated Graduate School (IGS), which is the central organizational unit of the MGK. A comprehensive training program is offered, including lectures and advanced tutorials, seminars, workshops, summer school, scientific and cross-disciplinary exchange, small independent research projects, and mentoring.
