An initiative by the Center for Graduate Studies (CGS)

Are you a PhD student and have a creative idea that would benefit other PhD students and yet lack financial and/or organisational resources? Please feel free to contact us. We will help you bring your project to life.

The WiN project fosters the implementation of creative ideas and projects initiated by and for (international) PhD students at the University of Wuppertal (UW). After all, who else, other than the ‚target group‘ itself, is in a better position to know the kind of inspiration required to successfully create a ‘PhD culture’ at the University of Wuppertal? Within the framework of WiN, the CGS will provide support for the implementation of your ideas both financially and in terms of organisation.

Until recently, Dorotea Sotgiu was the contact person for the WiN project. As coordinator, she mediated between PhD students, the CGS management, and relevant institutions within the university.

Examples for past events within the framework of the WiN project:

• Bouldering
• Visits to the Dance Theatre Pina Bausch
• Swimming
• "Wupper Corners" (exploring Wuppertal and its cultural activities together)
