Annika Gaiser

“I appreciate being selected for the EAWE Scholarship, which allows me to present my PhD project plan and initial results at the PhD Seminar 2024. Taking part in the seminar is a great opportunity for me to engage in inspiring discussions to improve my work and help with writing my first first-author paper. As an early-stage researcher, I am especially looking forward to meeting PhD students who work on similar topics and looking for potential future collaborations. In addition to attending the seminar, the scholarship also facilitates travelling more climate-friendly by train and boat.”
