Information for Organizers of OZSW Educational Activities

One of the main goals of the OZSW is to offer education and training for research master and PhD candidates. The founding partners have each committed themselves to contributing facilities and lecturers to OZSW educational activities.

Do you have a great course idea to add to the current educational program?
Please contact the chairman of your section for the possibilities.

On this page you can find more detailed information on how to organize an educational activity with support from the OZSW office.

Deadlines application for OZSW courses
