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.
Bouldering Club
Join us for bouldering and connect with other VDSP members! Bouldering is a great way to stay active, engage in a fun mental exercise, and solve problems together. We plan to organize regular sessions at local gyms. If you are interested, please contact:
Badminton Club
If you are interested in playing badminton on a beginner to intermediate level, consider joining us for a few games a month. We mostly play 2 hour doubles at Racketworld in the evenings.
Society of Sustainability
Sustainability in science is a topic that concerns all of us. We want to provide a room for people from different disciplines to come together and discuss about sustainability in their academic environment. Please join us in sharing initiatives, ideas and workflows that reduce our environmental impact. We will have an invited speaker in each session, followed by open discussion and networking. If interested in joining, please contact:
