The Young Researchers Day is the annual central event for doctoral students and postdocs at KU.  The aim of the event is to promote internal KU networking among young researchers and thus also interdisciplinary exchange.

During the event, all young researchers are invited to present their research topic briefly and concisely in innovative formats for a broad audience. The best three contributions are selected by the audience and awarded prizes. Formats such as the film competition "90 Seconds - getting to the heart of research" and the "Young Researchers Poster Exhibition" have been developed for this purpose.
