Trainings for PhD candidates

Trainings and Workshops for Doctoral researchers

The University of Vienna offers doctoral candidates a comprehensive training programme for their personal and professional development. On this website you will find all trainings offered by central offices. In addition, the decentralised doctoral schools also offer individual workshops and events specifically for the doctoral candidates of their school. Find out about these directly on the website of your doctoral school. Workshops are offered in the areas listed below. We ask you to plan your training realistically, as we expect your participation as soon as you have been offered a place in a workshop. Trainings in these areas are offered every semester.
