The TUM Graduate School and the Graduate Center of Life Sciences support supervisors with various information and offers.
All lecturers/refernts/instructors offering an event for doctoral candidates can count this extracurricular teaching as teaching load, insofar the event serves to convey learning content. The instruction of the scientific way of working and supervision, also in group form, cannot be recognized for the teaching load. Further information on this and on funding of events can be found in the Wiki of the Graduate Center of Life Sciences.
