Events
GSGG Day
The GSGG Day consists of the "Geisteswissenschaftlichen Einblicke", during which PhD students give short talks and present posters explaining what particularly fascinates them about their research, the questions they are exploring, and the perhaps surprising answers they have already found. This will be followed by a ceremonial event at which the Christian-Gottlob-Heyne Award, worth €2,500, will be awarded for the best humanities doctoral thesis of the past year. The winner and the nominees for the Christian-Gottlob-Heyne Prize can be found here.
