Dahlem Research School (DRS) offers online info talks and mini-workshops on various topics with keynotes and opportunities to ask questions, supporting different formats; all free of charge; ranging from information for students interested in doctoral research to funding opportunities for Postdocs, from onboarding information for newbee doctoral candidates to a mini-series on responsible AI use in research.

Most of the formats formerly offered as Open Door info talks have now been included as talk or mini-workshop formats into the 'regular' DRS qualification program.
