NEW: The final sprint – Countdown to your doctoral degree. A monthly information meeting of GAUSS & GGNB
Starting 12 January 2026, GAUSS & GGNB will offer a monthly online meeting for students approaching their thesis submission and examination.
The final sprint meeting takes place every second Monday of the month at 9:00h via Zoom (exception 12 January: 10:00h). The next meetings are scheduled for 12 January, 9 February, 8 March, and 13 April.
We will explain the three final yet essential steps required to obtain your doctoral degree: thesis submission, the examination (defense), and thesis publication. We highlight common pitfalls and critical deadlines, and provide key information for the final stretch of your PhD.
All very late stage-PhD students are welcome to join this information meeting (i.e. up to 10 weeks before thesis submission). Invitations will also be sent directly via email to anyone scheduled to submit in the next ten weeks after the meeting.
Please contact us by email (GAUSS Office or GGNB Office) to get the Zoom link for your participation at one of the next scheduled meetings – the first meeting takes place on Monday 12 January 2026 at 10:00h.
