Scientific Training
Scope
The Scientific Training of the GS-EES aims at deepening and widening the knowledge in the interdisciplinary filed of electrochemical energy storage.
In addition to the Block Course ”Materials, Functioning and Technology of Batteries” and the Summer School, which are part of the Core Program and provide some general inside into a broad variety of topics, the Scientific Training features workshops, seminars and lectures, which can be chosen to dig deeper into a specific topic, to widen the scope and keep track with the developments in the field and to get hands-on training to important methods.
A certain total number of credits is mandatory including a minimum for the categories “Lectures” and “Seminars”. Besides that, the Scientific Training can be tailored individually to the needs and interests of every GS-EES member.
The Scientific Training is composed of the following three categories:
Workshops
The workshops in Scientific Training aim at deepening the knowledge to a specific topic such as important characterization techniques, data evaluation and visualization in a compact form. Examples for workshop topics are x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS) or electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS). They are usually a combination of lectures, practical exercises and hands-on training. GS-EES members can select freely if and which workshops they want to attend to tailor the training to fit their needs.
The workshops are usually also open to other scientists of our partner institutions.
Seminars
Seminars in terms of scientific presentations and discussion are a great opportunity to follow recent scientific developments and also to widen one’s scope beyond the own specific topic.
To highlight the importance of attending seminars on a regular basis, a minimum of 36 seminars has to be attended in the course of the GS-EES qualification program.
There is a broad variety of seminars to choose from such as institutes’ seminars, the GDCh seminars, the HIU (Helmholtz Institute Ulm) seminar and the monthly POLiS seminar. The latter is co-organized by the doctoral researchers of the GS-EES. They give presentations, propose speakers and there are special Q&A sessions only for doctoral researchers after the talks.
Lectures
Attending a lecture for an entire semester allows to dive deep into a specific topic. The JLU Gießen, Ulm University and the KIT offer a wide range of lectures in the field of electrochemical energy storage on the bachelor and master level. Members of the GS-EES are free to choose a lecture of their interest, which can either be closely related to the research project of a doctoral researcher to or from a more remote discipline.
Preparing oneself to do teaching demands digging even more deeply into a topic than attending a lecture. Thus, doctoral researchers who are involved in teaching, e.g. as a tutor for exercises related to a lecture or as a tutor in lab courses, can get credits for that instead of attending a lecture.
