In-Depth Information
presentations of all PhD students as well as invited talks were given. All PhD
students had to give at least one talk and present two posters in total during the three
retreats. An evaluation sheet for both, talk- and poster presentation was prepared
and all supervisors and guest scientists of the retreat were asked to evaluate the
student contributions. The best poster and the best talk were awarded with a present

3 International Exchange
ESSReS maintains cooperation with foreign institutions and offered an international
exchange for all PhD students. ESSReS recruited PhD students originating from 12
countries (Austria, Brazil, China, Ecuador, Germany, Iran, Italy, Japan, Macedonia,
The Netherlands, Poland and Russia). Thus, a high level of intercultural exchange
was guaranteed.
A dedicated ESSReS website (
http://earth-system-science.org/
) was created to
inform the PhD students and the international public about the scienti
c work and
'
the students
personal developments (see Grosfeld et al.
2013
).
3.1 International and National Meetings
The students within ESSReS had the possibility to apply for travel grants for
workshops, meetings, conferences and stays at external institutes (see Sect.
3.2
). In
order to receive a grant, a proposal had to be submitted to the Academic Council.
All PhD students used this possibility and students travelled to meetings all over the
globe (see map in Fig.

). Additionally, the students had the possibility to partic-
ipate in semi-annual AWI/IUP seminars with special topics like
“
Advances in Earth
System Modeling
”
or
“
Climate Variability
”
.
3.2 Visit in a Foreign Lab
Apart from various visits of conferences or seminars ESSReS offered its students
support for a three-month stay abroad to enhance collaboration with specialists of
the respective research
first two years, three PhD students of
group II took advantage of this possibility and visited Copenhagen (Denmark),
Paris (France) and Toronto (Canada). All these visits to foreign labs had speci
