Early Career

Providing support for the next generation of researchers is a central priority at the CEN. Accordingly, the Center promotes not only discipline-specific but also interdisciplinary education for students and doctoral candidates at Universität Hamburg. CEN members intensively support the Bachelor’s and Master’s degree programs offered for the participating disciplines.

The CEN’s School of Integrated Climate System Sciences (SICSS), which was founded by the Cluster of Excellence CliSAP, is a pioneer in providing students truly interdisciplinary education.

Further, the CEN is a long-standing partner of the International Max Planck Research School of Earth System Modelling (IMPRS-EMS) and the Russian-German Master Program for Polar and Marine Sciences (POMOR).

In addition to the structured doctoral study program offered at the graduate school, the individual PhD project maintains its relevance at CEN.  All early-researcher support programs at the CEN are integrated into the processes and structures of the university’s central institute for graduates, the Hamburg Graduate Academy.
