7 2 HELMHOLTZ JUNIORS (WORK AND PHILOSOPHY) The Helmholtz Juniors (HeJus) are an association of the PhD student representatives of all Helmholtz centers. Networking and exchange, increasing the opportunities for professional development for PhD students and improving working condi- tions are central to their work. Different working groups cover the regular completion of surveys within Helmholtz PhD students, requesting and analy- zing working conditions to identify areas of need of improve- ment, the organization of networking events (“PhD days”) for Helmholtz PhD students, and the gathering and distribution of information particularly applicable for doctoral students. This booklet is the product of one of these working groups. More information about the Helmholtz Juniors can be found here: www.helmholtz.de/en/jobs_talent/funding_programs/docto- ral_students/helmholtz_juniors/ 2.1 LOCAL SUPPORT AT YOUR HELMHOLTZ CENTER In addition to speakers representing your center in the HeJu network, most institutes and centers have local PhD repre- sentatives. These teams (often called “DokTeams”), respond to the requirements of doctoral students at each location and organize local networking and social events, provide support and information for current students and are useful contacts to have.
