The IRTG combines its activities with doctoral study programmes already established at the respective host institutions. Professional training courses on soft skills are offered annually in Heidelberg by the Heidelberg University Graduate Academy; in Freiburg by the Spemann Graduate School of Biology and Medicine (SGBM) and the Moti-Vate graduate programme for excellent medical students; in Munich by the TUM Graduate school. These courses can be taken directly by the IRTG fellows depending on their personal schedule and needs. Participation fees are covered by the IRTG.
