• Recently Helmholtz-Juniors @ GSI has conducted a survey based on "Relocation Issue" of the PhD Students working in GSI. The Survey was intended to look into the problem and get an idea of HOW BIG is the problem. The Survey was a success. The detailed analysis of the survey concluded that the relocation was only a local issue limited to a particular group/department and not a global issue. The detailed report dated 23 April 2013 can be found here.
• GSI PhD Students met on 14.02.2013 in the GSI Canteen to discuss the Helmholtz Juniors Meeting in Berlin. Find the summary at the GSI Kurier

Helmholtz Juniors at GSI

There is no real established organization of the PhD students at GSI. Due to the fact that virtually all PhD Students at GSI are part of HGS-HIRe the official channel for complaints, problems with GSI or the grad school is Florian Senzel, elected PhD representative at HGS HIRe.
On top of that there exists a mailinglist helmholtz-juniors@gsi.de of PhD students interested that things go well at GSI. We try to pick up on issues before they become too pressing and do something about it. Additionally we organize regular PhD student meeting.
You may always drop us a message if you have questions related to GSI PhD issues. Florian Senzel, !PhD representative of HGS-HIRe is also among the recipients.
