doc.open hour

At times, our PhD studies come with hardships: struggles with our topic, keeping an healthy work-life balance, dealing with pressure for publications or scientific outcome, expectations of our supervisors etc.

So, we would like to offer you an open space to exchange about these hardships and invite you to share our struggles as well as advice and support at our doc.open hour on April 7th from 5:30 to 6:30 pm.

doc.Sprechstunde

Eine Promotion stellt uns vor zahlreiche Herausforderungen und manchmal entstehen Probleme, bei denen wir selbst nicht mehr weiter wissen: Unsicherheiten mit dem wissenschaftlichen Thema, ein gesundes Verhältnis von Arbeit und Freizeit, Publikationsdruck, das Rollenverhältnis zur/zum Betreuer*in, usw.

Wir möchten gerne einen Raum schaffen, um uns über derartige Schwierigkeiten, Ratschläge und Unterstützungsmöglichkeiten auszutauschen und laden euch herzlich zur doc.Sprechstunde am 7. April von 17:30 - 18:30 Uhr ein.
