Discussion in the international scientific community
***********************************************************

Doctoral candidates expose their research project to a discussion in the international scientific community.
To anchor this quality assurance, doctoral candidates at TUM must present their research publicly to experts in the scientific field.

As a rule, this results in at least **one scientific publication subject to a peer review process**.
