PhD interConnect

"PhD interConnect" is the International Office's support and qualification program for international PhD students.

funded by the DAAD

The program includes a series of events such as workshops, seminars, excursions, discussion evenings and other formats.

Under guidance of the International Office, a group of four international doctoral students plans, promotes and organizes this series of events on topics of relevance to both international and local doctoral students.

This gives Ph.D. students the opportunity for further academic and non-academic qualification. In addition, interdisciplinary networks are formed and doctoral students are given the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing internationalization of the UOS.

The PhD interConnect team invites you to an online event where we will discuss some of the academic bureaucracy we must go through to successfully complete a doctorate at the University of Osnabrück. Our speaker will be Dr. Leonie Windt, who works at ZePrOs assisting doctoral students. The focus will be on familiarizing you with regulations and bureaucratic processes that postgraduate students should know about from enrollment to official recognition of the doctorate. Come and participate, if you want to learn how to complete your doctorate without any unpleasant surprises that could delay this vital step in your academic career.

The team behind the summer term project 2024

Abeer Alhems

My name is Abeer Alhems, I’m from Egypt and I have been an academic staff since 2016. Currently, I am a PhD Student in School of Cultural Studies and Social Sciences - Textile design department, Osnabrück University, my research project is mainly focusing on similarities and differences of textiles educational system in Egyptian and German universities. While the two countries run their different educational policies, the main purpose of the study is to identify textile strategies of education regarding university curriculum, school preparation and teacher training in both countries from a comparative perspective; in order to address current issues and reach a deeper understanding of the ways to overcome. I‘m looking forward to spending a nice and creative time with PhD interConnect sharing my experience and meeting new students and colleagues.

Cyntia Machado

My name is Cyntia Machado and I am a history teacher in Brazil. I have a bachelor degree in History and in Law; a specialization in Public Security Policies and a Master's Degree in Labour Policies and Globalisation. Currently, I am cursing the second semester of my doctorate here in Osnabrück at IMIS. My main object of study is the domestic workers in Latin America, more precisely the struggle for better working conditions for this immense and ignored labor category. I'm very communicative and make friends easily. As a good Brazilian, I like to get people together and enjoy what life has to offer.
