Helmholtz Graduate School for Hadron and Ion Research and Helmholtz Research School for Quark Matter Studies by Henner Büsching and Gerhard Burau The Helmholtz Graduate School for Hadron and Ion Research (HGS-HIRe for FAIR), established in October 2008 as a joint endeavor of GSI and the universities at Darmstadt, Frankfurt, Giessen, Heidelberg and Mainz together with FIAS looks back on a successful second year of operation. It provides a common platform for structured doctoral education in the scientific fields of hadron and ion research. By the end of 2010, more than 200 doctoral students from more than 30 nations are participating in the program of HGS-HIRe - an increase of roughly 25% compared to the previous year. 20% of the participants are female students. 17 participants graduated in 2010. The integration of the Helmholtz Research School for Quark Matter Studies (H-QM) in HGS-HIRe to specially support a selected group of outstanding students working in the field of theoretical and experimental heavy-ion physics has been progressed. H-QM is a joint project of Goethe University Frankfurt and FIAS together with GSI. In 2010 a third H-QM group of 8 students have started the three-year educational program. Both, H-QM and HGS-HIRe are supported by the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association. In 2010 the ambitious education program of HGS-HIRe continued with a series of lectures, colloquia, lecture weeks and soft skill seminars. In summary five lecture weeks, two power weeks and six softskill seminars on various topics have been organized in 2010. As public outreach the exhibition "Die Weltmaschine" on the start of the CERN-LHC with more than 5000 visitors and 100 school classes has been organized at Frankfurt university by HGS-HIRe in fall 2010. To facilitate career planning after the PhD, HGS-HIRe introduced a new series of events, "HGS-HIRe Perspectives": Invited speakers from applied science or industry who graduated in natural science meet with HGS-HIRe participants and discuss current career opportunities. Since spring 2010 HGS-HIRe organizes the HGS-HIRe Summer Student Program at GSI to attract undergraduate students to the scientific fields of the school. In October 2010 the HGS-HIRe signature event, the HGS-HIRe Graduate Days was held in Hanau- Steinheim: For two days everybody involved with HGS-HIRe came together to get an exciting view of the science the participants and members of the school are working on. Other pillars of the program were strengthened in 2010: The HGS-HIRe Scientific Travel Program for participants with the optional inclusion of long-term stays at institutes abroad and individual PhD committees which meet every six months to discuss the current status and future plans of the PhD project. In addition to the programmatic activities, HGS-HIRe provides and centrally organizes – strongly supported by FIAS – the very successful PhD scholarship programs of GSI (Graduate Program for Hadron and Ion Research - GP-HIR), HIC for FAIR and EMMI. 20
The Frankfurt International Graduate School for Science by Jochen Triesch Enrolment in the Frankfurt International Graduate School for Science (FIGSS) has further risen in the year 2010; the number of FIGSS students now stands at 56. About 43% of the students are of non-German nationality and about 20% are female. As in the years before, the majority of students work in neuroscience (23) and physics (22), in addition there are 7 students in biochemistry/chemistry and 4 students in computer science. A total of 11 FIGSS students have received their PhDs in the year 2010. Presently the rules and procedures of FIGSS are being updated and developed further. In particular, provisions for PhD committees are being made which meet regularly and monitor the progress of the individual students. Furthermore, details of the cooperation with the ‘Goethe Graduate Academy’ (GRADE) are being worked out. The newly established GRADE is meant to form the joint platform for doctoral education at Goethe University. All PhD students associated with FIAS have one advisor at the Institute and one at a department of Goethe University. The duration of PhD studies normally amounts to three years. While research work for the thesis is of central importance, the students are expected to actively participate in the seminars and colloquia at FIAS and also to attend lecture courses. In the FIGSS Seminar, being held on Mondays at noon in the form of a lunch seminar with free pizza, FIGSS students report on the status of their PhD work. Care is taken that the talks are prepared in such a way that they are understandable to an interdisciplinary auditorium. In 2010 we have improved the format of the FIGSS Seminar. In order to maximize the quality of presentations we have introduced a feedback form that listeners fill out for every presentation. The presentations are also videotaped to give speakers valuable feedback about their presentation style. Finally, we have established a best presentation prize that is awarded to the best presentation of the semester according to the scores on the feedback forms. These changes were generally well received by the participants. 21
