PhD interConnect
"PhD interConnect" is the International Office's support and qualification program for international PhD students.
The program includes a series of events such as workshops, seminars, excursions, discussion evenings and other formats.
Under guidance of the International Office, a group of four international doctoral students plans, promotes and organizes this series of events on topics of relevance to both international and local doctoral students.
This gives Ph.D. students the opportunity for further academic and non-academic qualification. In addition, interdisciplinary networks are formed and doctoral students are given the opportunity to contribute to the ongoing internationalization of the UOS.

Abeer Alhems
My name is Abeer Alhems, I’m from Egypt and I have been an academic staff since 2016. Currently, I am a PhD Student in School of Cultural Studies and Social Sciences - Textile design department, Osnabrück University, my research project is mainly focusing on similarities and differences of textiles educational system in Egyptian and German universities. While the two countries run their different educational policies, the main purpose of the study is to identify textile strategies of education regarding university curriculum, school preparation and teacher training in both countries from a comparative perspective; in order to address current issues and reach a deeper understanding of the ways to overcome. I‘m looking forward to spending a nice and creative time with PhD interConnect sharing my experience and meeting new students and colleagues.

Fadi Hasan
My name is Fadi Hasan and I am a PhD student in Sociology at the University of Osnabrück. My research explores the interplay between structure and agency in shaping the experiences of Syrian families living in Germany. I examine how factors such as gender roles, marital stability and family relationships are affected by migration and how families, especially couples, cope with these challenges in transnational contexts. In 2021, I completed my Master's degree in International Migration and Intercultural Relations with distinction and was awarded the DAAD Prize, which is given to international students who demonstrate outstanding academic performance during their studies in Germany.
As a member of the PhD interConnect team, I would like to contribute through activities aimed at enhancing PhD students' abilities to design and present their academic profiles.
Oluwatobi Adeosun
I am Oluwatobi Adeosun. I have a B.Sc. and M.Sc. in Biochemistry from Nigeria and am currently in my second year of a Ph.D. programme in Molecular Cell Biology at the University of Osnabrück. My undergraduate and postgraduate journey has been filled with a lot of extra-curricular activities that involved organising and planning social and religious events. In all of these successful events, I have had the opportunity to either coordinate, work with a team, or work as a team member. I can say that I have a knack for communicating and managing both individual and corporate projects. I am excited about the opportunity to be part of the PhD interConnect team because the core mission of promoting, developing and organising events on relevant topics that could foster networking between local and international students and beyond is an experience that every PhD student should have. I would like to contribute to the team by promoting events that encourage socialising, idea sharing, professional networking, learning and fostering a supportive environment for students.
