This year's guiding theme is "Getting involved and broadening the horizon".
In the morning we will start with a broader Helmholtz perspective, with HGS-HIRe and GSI-FAIR being part of the Helmholtz Association, the biggest research organisation in Germany. A plenary presentation Survey of a disappearing world - The MoSAiC-Expedition of the Polarstern will give insight in current activities at various Helmholtz Centers to strengthen our understanding about of the changing world climate. (canceled due to sickness of speaker)
Insight HGS-HIRe sessions will give room to broaden the horizon on the HGS-HIRe research, itself. With short, parallel explanatory presentations followed by small question and answer sessions there will be a chance to get insight into areas of research different from the own scientific topics.
In short, parallel discussion sessions in the Workshop HGS-HIRe program we will try to optimize the HGS-HIRe program.
The regular Participant Council and Representative Election will be followed by the traditional HIRe Feier, the conclusion of the Graduate Day.
Registration is closed.

Dress code
As people ask. There is no dress code during the day. For the evening we kindly ask for business casual, i.e. (formal) jacket but no tie, for the gents. Ladies on their own judgement.
Travel reimbursement
Since the site is reachable within the 'Semester-Ticket' of most of our partner universities, travel will only be reimbursed in cases where the use of this option is not possible. Costs related to the Graduate Day will be covered by HGS-HIRe. These costs will not be billed to your conference budget unless you cancel your participation in this event on short notice.
