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) − a joint endeavor of the GSI Helmholtzzentrum and the universities at Darmstadt, Frankfurt, Giessen, Heidelberg and Mainz together with FIAS − looks back on a successful third year of operation. Established to provide a common platform for structured doctoral education in the scientific fields of hadron and ion research, HGS-HIRe is attracting an increasing number of participating students who perform their research projects in these fields at the partner institutions. More than 270 doctoral students are participating in the program of HGS-HIRe by the end of 2011. Nearly 30% of the participants have an international background, 19 participants of HGS-HIRe graduated in 2011. The increasing number of participants in 2011 allowed for a consequent strengthening of the education program. In addition the Helmholtz Research School for Quark Matter Studies (H-QM) is more and more integrated in the structure of HGS-HIRe. H-QM is a joint project of the GSI Helmholtzzentrum, Goethe-Universität Frankfurt and FIAS to specially support a selected group of outstanding students performing research in the field of theoretical and experimental heavy-ion physics. Both, H-QM and HGS-HIRe are supported by the Initiative and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz Association. Within the education program of HGS-HIRe and H-QM, numerous events on various topics, which addressed both, scientific and transferable skills, have been organized in 2011: five lecture weeks, three power weeks − one of them held at FIAS, and a total of ten seminars on transferable skills. With the latter HGS-HIRe is breaking new ground and has developed, together with experienced trainers from the UK, an integrated series of three courses focusing on various transferable skills, combining different aspects of professional and personal development. Additionally, the HGS-HIRe Perspectives events were introduced to facilitate the career planning of the students after finishing the PhD. Offered in 2011 on a regular basis, these events have been established as integral part of the program. Last but not least three special events have been organized by HGS-HIRe in 2011: The first joint Helmholtz-Rosatom School took place in Hirschegg (Austria) in February 2011. Participants of HGS-HIRe and fellows of the FAIR Russia Research Centre in Moscow came together to discuss and learn about various aspects of the new FAIR accelerator complex. During the summer months of 2011 HGS-HIRe and GSI organized an international Summer Student Program which is offered to undergraduate students in physics or related natural science disciplines. 41 students from 14 countries, mostly from Europe but also from GSI/FAIR partner countries in Asia and South America took part in this year's program. The second HGS-HIRe Graduate Days were held in Königstein/Taunus in October. Nearly 200 participants and members of HGS-HIRe joined this central event. Over the course of two days 16
participants reported on their projects, experienced researchers gave overview talks, and the HGS- HIRe Excellence Awards 2011 have been granted to Matthias Lochmann (Mainz) and Niels Strodthoff (Darmstadt). Other pillars of the HGS-HIRe program were further strengthened. In the HGS-HIRe Abroad program participants can file a research proposal for a research stay abroad for a period of one to three months to facilitate their thesis project. A limited number of HGS-HIRe Abroad grants has been awarded in a competitive process several times per year. In addition, HGS-HIRe and H-QM have been involved in a couple of public outreach activities: • The 'International Masterclasses' which are organized in the framework of the European Particle Physics Outreach Group and the Initiative 'Netzwerk-Teilchenphysik' of the German BMBF • An outreach program for elementary school kids with HGS-HIRe participants visiting elementary schools to talk about what it is like 'to be a scientist' (organized in cooperation with 'Polytechnische Gesellschaft' in Frankfurt) • 'Tag der Weltmaschine' in November 2011 − an event including presentations and a small exhibition for the general public featuring the physics, the experiments and the technological challenges of the Large Hadron Collider LHC at CERN (organized in cooperation with the Physics Department of Goethe-Universität and FIAS) Strongly supported by FIAS, HGS-HIRe provides and centrally organizes the very successful PhD scholarship programs of GSI, HIC for FAIR and EMMI. 17
