Preface
 

In the following links a collection of lectures, seminars, and colloquia is given which can be recommended for attendence by the Ph.D. fellows in the Graduiertenkolleg. The required knowledge varies depending on whether a Ph.D. fellow is familiar with experimental and/or theoretical particle physics. To indicate the auditory for which a lecture is meant the last column can be taken as a guideline: 
 

• E for experimentalists 
• T for theorists 
• S for all students

 

Some of the lectures will help a Ph.D. fellow to familiarise with the subject of his/her thesis. Evidently fellows should choose to attend those lectures accordingly. Other lectures allow to widen the knowledge in the field of particle and astroparticle physics, or to extend computational skills. 
 

The seminars are mainly special seminars of the various working groups in the Graduiertenkolleg apart from those labelled S in the last column. Even though the seminars are mainly intended for the doctoral students working in those groups, these seminars are open to all Ph.D. fellows of the Graduiertenkolleg. 
 

All doctoral students are advised to attend the colloquia. In particular the Münchener Physik-Kolloquium will cover a broad spectrum of modern physics. Listening to the talks one remains up-to-date on the ongoing research in all fields of physics. The same is true for the Kolloquium des MPI but focused on particle physics. 
 

Finally, the Graduiertenkolleg has its own colloquium where in particular the Ph.D. fellows ought to present status and recent progress of their research to all members of the Graduiertenkolleg. This colloquium is part of the Particle Physics School Munich which is formed jointly by Graduiertenkolleg and IMPRS for Elementary Particle Physics. The curriuclae of both, Graduiertenkolleg and IMPRS are closely coordinated. The common Particle Physics School colloquium will take place once every month (2nd Friday, 2 p.m.) where the location rotates between Max-Planck-Institute for Physics, TUM, and LMU. The students of the Graduiertenkolleg are expected to present the current status of their research about once a year in this colloquium.
