When does the event take place?
Opportunity Week 2025 will take place at Ulm University from 14 to 18 July 2025. After consulting with ProTrainU, Opportunity Week can be combined with a preceding and/or subsequent research visit at the respective host institute. Costs for travel and accommodation will be covered by ProTrainU (terms and conditions apply).
The institutes and facilities of Ulm University will organise the majority of the Opportunity Week programme and spend most of the time with the invited guests.

The Graduate & Professional Training Centre (ProTrainU) contributes to the supporting programme with selected events, including the welcome event, information on funding opportunities at Ulm University, a cultural excursion and the closing event.
