Student-led activities

Journal clubs and student societies are entirely student-led.

Are you interested in reading, critically analysing and debating scientific articles on a regular basis, together with your fellow VDSP students? Let us know via vds-physics@univie.ac.at in case you would like to have your journal club listed on this website.

Student societies are informal initiatives beyond the PhD curriculum and aim to connect PhD students from various research areas.

Board Game Society

The Board game society meets regularly to play various board games. It is also a perfect opportunity to get to know other VDSP students. If you want to join please contact:

 carsten.speckmann@univie.ac.at

Padel Tennis Society

We invite you to play Padel Tennis with us. Every second week we book the pitches in Padeldome Wien in Erdberg for one hour to play padel. It is a perfect opportunity to try a new sport and meet other VDSP members. If you are interested please contact:
