Orientation 2025

Snapshots from 2024

Throughout the events planned from October 6th to 8th, the newest cohort will be introduced to the network and research at LMU Munich and its collaborating institutions, forming MCN-LMU, as well as to GSN regulations and resources within the graduate school and the Munich universities. Several activities, such as Speed Networking, Mentoring Kick-off, and a campus tour will round up the program and help the newcomers get to know each other.

Collaborative Presentations - a concept meant to bring the latest and current students together during Orientation Week - will be at the heart of the event. Teams will be formed around similar research topics, aligned with the GSN research areas. The 20 min. presentations will be given as "tandem talks” where a more experienced PhD student and a few new students team up to present the project of the current student. The collaborative talks contain a 10-minute introduction by the new students’ team and a 10-minute flash-talk by the more experienced student presenting the research results.

The students from the integrated MSc Neurosciences and FT preparatory year will be part of the MSc & FT Spotlight break-out session, where they will introduce themselves and their previous work.

Save the date and stay tuned for the schedule and registration link early September.
