Sonderforschungsbereich 990: Ökologische und sozioökonomische Funktionen tropischer Tieflandregenwald-Transformationssysteme (Sumatra, Indonesien) (Phase 3: 2020 – 2023)

Education and Promotion of Junior Researchers

Postdocs
Around 38 Postdoctoral researchers have been employed in EFForTS since the start of the project in 2012. In Phase 3 (2020-2023), each of the Postdocs in the project is integrated in synthesis activities that receive particular attention from EFForTS PIs as well as Group Speakers and Foci speakers to the benefit of the career of postdoctoral researchers functioning as first authors of these papers.

Doctoral researchers
Since the start of the project in 2012, about 100 doctoral researchers participate(d) in EFForTS, thereof 42 students with external scholarships or university (UGOE) funding.
To date, 74 doctoral researchers have completed their theses at the University of Göttingen, including 21 PhD students from Indonesia. In addition, at IPB University in Bogor, nine doctoral researchers concluded their work.
