Post-graduate education in Marine Sciences: Integrated School of Ocean Sciences (ISOS)

ISOS educational offers are supplementary to the curricular programmes in marine sciences and are focused on interdisciplinary training and development of personal skills for a scientific career.

Offers for all interested participants 

• In the interdisciplinary Lecture Series “The BIG questions”, senior scientists identify the open research questions in their field and give insights on future developments.
• Career Evenings: Network personally with invited guests from industry, policy-making, NGOs, environmental regulators etc. and be inspired by their career paths.
•  During “Meet the Prof” events you can network with top-level international scientists visiting Kiel. Find out what they think are the top challenges in their field and what it takes to make a career in sciences.
