About DocNet
DocNet is the club for all doctoral students, Ph.D.s 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.
