Dear PhD students, After a long summer break...DoC.Net is presenting the new program for the winter semester 2008/2009... My name is Hanan El-Khouri and I'm a PhD student in Political Science. Since july this year, I'm the new coordinator of the informal Network for Doctoral Students. I would like to introduce myself: I'm 26 years old and I have Belgian nationality. I was born in Germany (Aachen) and I attended school in Belgium. Before I started my studies at the RWTH Aachen I studied International Business at the University of Maastricht in the Netherlands...and finally my country of origin is Morocco. As you see I have a multicultural background and that is why I decided to get involved in the DoC.NET. YOU are also welcome to be a part of the informal DoC.NET, so that we could organize some future events together, as soon as possible, may be activities for our summer semester 2009? It would be a great pleasure for me to work with you. Next Welcome Meeting will be at the Humboldt-House, Pontstr. 41, on November, 25 2008. For further information: http://www.rwth-aachen.de/go/id/oqd/ http://www.rwth-aachen.de/go/id/ouh/ I hope you will be interested in joining us, and I am looking forward to meeting you, El-Khouri Hanan
