The University of Rostock is a partner university of the Nacaps study of the German Center for Higher Education Research and Science Studies (DZHW).

Nacaps stands for "National Academics Panel Study" and is a nationwide panel study of doctoral candidates and doctoral graduates and collects detailed information on doctoral conditions and successes, career intentions and career paths, as well as on general living conditions of doctoral candidates and doctoral graduates.

In February 2023, doctoral candidates who register as doctoral candidates at the University of Rostock between December 2, 2020 and December 1, 2022 will be invited to participate in the survey. You will receive an invitation with a personal access code for the online questionnaire

Your feedback is important for the work of all graduate programs at the University of Rostock in order to be able to support doctoral candidates and postdocs even more specifically on their individual path during and after their doctorate.

Here we have compiled the reasons for participation and general information about the study for you. We will be happy to answer any questions you may have.
