administrator Posted November 17, 2024 Report Share Posted November 17, 2024 The University of Regensburg, with over 20,000 students, is an innovative and interdisciplinary campus university offering a wide range of study programmes and research activities. The Graduate School for East and Southeast European Studies (GS OSESUR) is an interdisciplinary and cross-faculty research network of the Universität Regensburg, established in 2012 and financed by the University of Regensburg and the Bavarian State Ministry for Science and the Arts. It organizes a comprehensive doctoral training program earmarked to provide doctoral researchers with the skills and resources for the successful and timely completion of their PhD project. It offers training and advise both for academic and non-academic post-doctoral careers. For more information see: http://www.gsoses-ur.de With its primary regional focus on East and Southeast Europe, the Graduate School collaborates across the following disciplines: History, Literary, Language and Cultural Studies, Social Anthropology, Law, and Area Studies. Research at the GS OSESUR focuses particularly on interrelations and interdependencies between East and Southeast Europe and other parts of the world. For this reason, the School’s expertise in Area Studies is complemented by insights from European History, North American Studies and other Area Studies, as present in the newly founded Department of Interdisciplinary and Multiscalar Area Studies (DIMAS). The Graduate School also closely cooperates with the Leibniz ScienceCampus “Europe and America in the Modern World”.
