Seconded from the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH) to RMIT University (Melbourne) and RMIT Europe (Barcelona)
2 months, Winter 2020 & 2 months, Winter 2022
My name is Pauline and I am a PhD student at the Hamburg University of Technology (TUHH), Faculty of Strategic and International Management. With OIT, I had the great opportunity for a two-months-stay at RMIT University, Melbourne. My stay enabled me to present and discuss my dissertation with researchers from the multiple departments at RMIT and receive valuable feedback to advance my research. I participated in the “Engaging For Impact” conference at RMIT which allowed me to mirror my results with attendees of the conference including managers from the field.
I also presented my research at the Global Business Innovation (GBI) Seminar Series at RMIT which is a great program to exchange ideas with other researchers from RMIT. During my stay I could build up an international network and set up joint research projects which will both serve as a building block for my future career in academia.
Furthermore, with OpenInnoTrain, I also had the great opportunity for a two-months-stay at RMIT Europe, in Barcelona. My stay enabled me to work on my current publications and receive feedback from researchers on site. I was also able to leverage the third-party expertise at RMIT Europe to learn more about current EU third-party projects, third-party funding strategies, and postdoctoral fundings. These experiences are important for my further careers in science.
