Doctoral Retreat 2025: Exchange and Networking for PhD Students

Poster session at the PZH

The second Doctoral Retreat of the collaborative research project HyPo TRR 375 took place in Hannover from March 10 to 14, 2025. The event brought together PhD students from various sub-projects and enabled intensive interdisciplinary exchange. In addition to poster sessions and soft skills workshops, the program also included lab tours that offered hands-on insights into ongoing research projects.

A central element of the event was the poster session, where PhD students presented the current status of their research projects. The following discussions sparked interdisciplinary exchange and created new scientific connections. The program was complemented by two soft skills workshops focusing on leadership and rhetoric.

Particularly exciting were the lab tours at the various institutes of the Production Technology Center Hannover. Participants gained practical insights into state-of-the-art research facilities.

Among other things, the IFW team presented sub-project A05, which focuses on simulating the additive manufacturing of hybrid porous components. The project aims to predict and optimize the material properties of these innovative structures through process simulations.

The doctoral retreat offers a valuable opportunity for scientific exchange and personal development. Equipped with new knowledge and fresh ideas, the PhD students are now continuing their research with renewed motivation.
