Rector Bernhard Fügenschuh has officially welcomed ten new doctoral candidates to the FWF-funded doctoral school AlpsChange, which operates within the broader research framework DynamitE. These early-career researchers will tackle critical questions concerning geo- and biodiversity in the face of environmental change, using the European Alps as their principal model system.
