There are around a dozen PhD candidates who research and work at Leibniz-Zentrum Moderner Orient - either as part of a research unit or holding an external grant.
ZMO's PhD candidates are organized in a forum which serves as a platform for exchange on their academic work and the challenges that research at this junior level entails. They also organize internal colloquia, workshops and seminars. Beyond that, they gather regularly for social events and personal interaction.
