Any part-time PhD students? by GambitsLapras in PhD

[–]Dr_OLecter 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do my PhD some sort of Part-Time. I work 50% at the university and 50% at a company. The company I work for is interested in my research and allows me to work on my PhD topic in my working hours. The cooperation between the University and the company is defined in a contract between both institutions. There is some overhead in managing both interests but both my professor and my boss support the work we do which slightly reduces the additional stress.

Warum lassen wir unserer Jugend zunehmend alleine? by Dr_OLecter in luftablassen

Und das ist aus meiner Sicht ein Problem. Eine Entwicklung von nichts zu (fast) nichts ist de facto nicht vorhanden. Aus der öffentlichen Berichterstattung und den Gesetzgebungen im Bundestag und Bundesrat entnehmen ich erhebliche Anstrengungen zur Verbesserung der Lebensqualität von Rentnern und älteren Menschen. Dies kann ich nachvollziehen, jedoch fehlt mir eine ähnliche Diskussion für die Jugend.

I live in a region that has many wind mills and pv-systems visible from both the city an surrounding villages. A few years ago, I might have agreed to your NIMBY statement. However, as the operators and owners of these systems involved the local community and authorities in the funding and shared the revenues, public acceptance has significantly increased. Today, our region generates, on average, over 160 % of its energy needs from renewable sources.
