Privatissimum 2025/2026

Guidelines:

• Each PhD student receives the ECTS for the Privatissimum from their supervisor, where the contributions to be delivered are different from group to group: for project-related presentations, short or long, for the discussions with the supervisor, etc. (thus more in line with the curriculum).
• New format of the Lab Meeting to enhance and maintain the communication at SPSC:
  • Each Thursday from 14.15 – max. 16h
  • Once a month as operational meeting GLM (incl. non-scientific staff) with attached teaching meeting (only those involved in teaching)
  • The other weeks as Research Lab Meeting (RLM): participation obligatory for all members of the lab except administrative staff and student project assistants (they may attend if a topic is relevant for them, but it is not compulsory).
  • a PIC (currently Erik Leitinger) is responsible for checking attendance and compiling the schedule at the beginning of the semester. Reserve your slots as early as possible, e.g., as soon as you know your paper has been accepted for presentation at a conference.
• Format of presentations at RLM:
  • In the RLM, each member of the lab rehearses their external talks (compulsory) that will be given either at: conferences (oral and poster), hearings (project proposals, job applications), for external project meetings, talks to take place at research visits, science-to-public, etc. The rehearsal talk might be augmented with additional introductory slides or a few slides with additional experiments belonging to the same topic as the rehearsal talk (max. +10min to the talk-time as given by the external organization)
  • The RLM shall be used for incoming/visiting researchers (they may have a up to 90min time slot)
  • 4 RLMs per year are reserved for Bachelor- and mid-term Master presentations. Attendance is only compulsory for their supervisors and members of the same group, as well as for all bachelor and master students doing a student project at SPSC in that semester. Other SPSC members of course may join if interested. ET-TI students present their student projects in the separately offered TI- Bachelor-and Masterseminar.
