The São Paulo Office of Freie Universität Berlin, the Liaison Office for Latin America of Technical University of Munich, the Brazil Center of the University of Münster, and Technische Universität Berlin cordially invite prospective doctoral and post-doctoral researchers to an Opportunities Workshop in Buenos Aires on October 24, 2019.

Doing a PhD or a PostDoc in Germany means to work in an international and competitive system with a lot of opportunities to enhance your research career and your international network. We invite you to get to know the German system and opportunities for your research stay at German top universities. Learn about PhD and PostDoc career steps, financial grants and benefits and get in contact with other interested researchers and PhDs and PostDocs that have recently returned from Germany.
