HI-GRADE, the “Helmholtz Interdisciplinary Graduate School for Environmental Research”, is the graduate school for doctoral researchers at the Helmholtz Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ, in cooperation with partner universities and partner programs. We aim to provide a coherent framework for qualifying a new generation of internationally competitive doctoral researchers in the field of environmental research. Graduate education at HI-GRADE is structured, systematic, and adapted to individual needs.
The HIGRADE program consists of professional and transferable skills training, scientific courses, career development, and networking offers. Skills training is offered by UFZ staff as well as external trainers, and scientific courses are related to the main research areas of the UFZ within the broad field of environmental research.
Our doctoral researchers can choose from the whole range of courses offered, enabling them to combine courses that support the completion of their scientific projects and promote their career development. They are encouraged to work in an interdisciplinary manner in a vibrant research environment with excellent infrastructure. Each doctoral researcher at the UFZ is supported by an advisory committee and the graduate school.
