The iRTG offers a structured qualification program in scientific and key skills to all PhD students financed and associated to the CRC/TRR. Its training is divided into research training in several laboratories and in different research contexts, as well as an external training program, which offers courses for key skills. The PhD students have many occasions to actively learn about the works of their colleagues in the CRC, to communicate science and to discuss their own scientific results. The scientific exchange is fostered by a set of opportunities, such as training in other than their own labs, tutorials, seminars and a retreat.

Candidates are offered courses on transferable skills in collaboration with the Dahlem Research School Berlin (DRS) and the International Graduate Academy Halle (InGrA)
