What is WINA+?

Support for an ideal starting point

WINA+ is TU Wien's two-year development program for young researchers in temporary substitute positions. The university invites all predoctoral research assistants (Predocs) at TU Wien to join the program.

Each year 2 program cycles start: a German class in winter term, an English class in summer term.

Customized Skill Development

WINA+ offers support in customised skill development during fixed-termed employment. The target agreement with your supervisor serves as a basis of this.

Group coaching sessions – Networking and valuable input

Networking

In addition to your personal development in your individual research area, the university-wide networking and interdisciplinary exchange is core to the program.
Four times within the two-year period, you meet with your colleagues for a group coaching session to share successful steps taken, challenges and achievements.

Summer schools

During the semester, there is often hardly enough time to deal with your own further education. The HR Development organises and manages the TU Austria Summerschool Doc+ and international Summerschool cooperations.
Together with an international group of PhD students you can take part in various seminars and trainings - a perfect opportunity for social interaction and networking.
