PhD Retreat at Schloss Döttingen

🎓 Two days dedicated to exchange, inspiration and the iFIT PhD community: On 19–20 October 2026, our PhD students will come together at Schloss Döttingen for this year’s iFIT PhD Student Retreat.

The varied program will combine scientific exchange with career perspectives, interactive sessions and plenty of opportunities to connect. Topics will range from PhD life and research projects to career paths in academia, industry and start-ups – complemented by group activities, personal experiences and discussions about new interdisciplinary research ideas. And, of course, there will be time for networking, recreation and informal exchange beyond the sessions.

🤝 A big thank you to our iFIT PhD Speakers Lisa and Poorya all the work they have already put into organizing and shaping this year’s retreat!

💡 We are looking forward to two inspiring days filled with fresh ideas, shared experiences and new connections across the iFIT PhD community!
