The whole is more than the sum of its part: Added value from a Graduate School as a structuring element within the wider field of early and pre-career support
Structured postgraduate programs are a relatively new feature at German Higher Educational Institutions, mainly fostered in the 90ies by the funding programs of the German Science Foundation (Research Training Groups) and the Max-Planck-Association (International Max Planck Research Schools).
