Dear reader,

welcome to the May issue of the monthly GAUSS newsletter with information from the GAUSS Office including courses and events organised by GAUSS. Furthermore, the newsletter contains information about workshops and events offered by partners at the Göttingen Campus and additional information that might be of interest for doctoral students in Göttingen.

We have added a new category at the end of the Newsletter - Permanent Articles - this category includes all time interesting and important topics from the past. It will now be part of every newsletter. This way, the information will be permanently available to any (new) doctoral student.

For more information about each topic, please follow the links below. Some of the events or seminars are advertised in German as the language during the events or workshops will be German. Feel free to forward this email to other interested students. If you do not want to receive information like this again, please let usknow and we will remove you from the mailing list.
