Doktorandeninitiative bei DESY

The iniative of PhD students at DESY, DoIt, was founded in summer 2006.
We meet once per month and invite you cordially to participate.

We estimate, that 300 PhD students are working on the DESY site, about 80 of those students are paid by DESY. All others have contracts with universities or are scholarship holders. DoIt is trying to represent all of them. At the moment DoIt has seven regularly appearing members and some ongoing or accomplished projects concerning the situation of PhD students at DESY, like an informal meeting with people from the human resources department about the different contract models for DESY PhD students or our successful job seminar.

Each year two members of DoIt visit the annual meeting of the Helmholtz juniors, the students initiative of the Helmholtz Gesellschaft, to establish contacts with student initiatives at other Helmholtz centers.
Our intention is to improve the situation of students working on the DESY site. Therefore we try to enhance the communication among each other and between the directorate and the students. We'd be happy to provide a contact point for all DESY students with problems or any other concerns.
