Info

The Frankfurt International Graduate School for Science by Jochen Triesch The Frankfurt International Graduate School for Science (FIGSS) is the graduate school of FIAS. It provides a framework for doctoral education at FIAS, while PhD degrees are officially granted by Goethe University. Students are typically funded by research grants to their advisors, since FIGSS has no independent funding. The students are expected to obtain their PhD within three years. In 2011 the number of FIGSS students has continued to rise. Enrollment went up from 56 in Decemeber 2010 to 66 in December 2011. Nine PhDs were awarded in 2011. The fraction of female students has been slightly decreasing from 20% to 15%, but the student population remains very international with 42% of our students being foreign nationals. The composition of FIGSS with respect to the different research disciplines has become somewhat more uniform last year. Neuroscience (35%) and Physics (33%) still make up the lion share (as has been the case from the founding days of FIAS), but Chemistry and Biology (15%) and Computer Science (17%) have been catching up a little. We have updated and further developed our rules and procedures for FIGSS. Specifically, PhD committees are being introduced, which meet regularly and monitor the progress of the individual students. The cooperation with the ‘Goethe Graduate Academy’ (GRADE) is also being formalized. A core activity of FIGSS continues to be its weekly seminar, held in the form of a lunch seminar with free pizza, where FIGSS students and post-docs report on the status of their PhD work. Care is taken that the talks are of high quality and understandable to an interdisciplinary audience. To this end, we use feedback forms that attendees fill in after every presentation and presentations are videotaped to give speakers feedback about their presentation style. The best presentation of each semester is awarded a bottle of Champagne. 18
