Voluntary Scientific Year – Cluster of Excellence PhoenixD

Voluntary Academic Year

Every year PhoenixD supports teenagers who complete a so-called Voluntary Academic Year (German: FWJ) between school and university or training. The young people get to live a day-to-day life at an institute, work on their own projects and exchange information in regular seminars.
