Doctoral Network at the University of St.Gallen

DocNet is the club for all doctoral students and postdoctoral scholars at the University of St.Gallen (HSG), Switzerland

Our network was founded by a group of doctoral students from different research departments at HSG in spring 2001. Today, with more than 1’000 members, we are one of the biggest clubs at the University of St.Gallen (HSG). Throughout the year we organize interesting and inspiring social, sports, career-oriented, and academic events. Furthermore, DocNet provides special offers and benefits to its members. DocNet also maintains pages on LinkedIn, Instagram, and Facebook to inform and connect its members with each other. More than 3400 former doctoral students are organized through the Doctoral Alumni Club (a chapter of HSG Alumni). If you have any queries, please feel free to contact us via email.

Chances are that at some point you wonder: “Am I the first person having this issue? Where did I find that again? Where do I turn to for that software licence?” And that’s the reason why we started to collect some helpful links and resources for your PhD journey. Because writing a dissertation is hard enough.
