The successful execution of a doctoral project requires a high level of professional competence. At least as important is an efficient organization and use of the scarce resources available. Another success factor is proactive communication with the supervisor and within project teams.

The workshop “Managing of a doctoral project” imparts effective project and time management tools so that you can use your time optimally and successfully advance your research. In addition, you acquire basic knowledge in the areas of constructive communication and teamwork. Further, important topics such as the basics of advanced self-management, the intercultural dimension of successful communication and resilience in dealing with setbacks are taught.

The aim of the course is to equip you with management techniques, communicative tools and so that you can manage all tasks associated with doctoral research. Methodically, the workshop is based on two basic principles of interactive training: "You learn more outside the comfort zone" and "Experience makes you wise - reflection on your own experience makes you even wiser". Therefore, the course consistently focuses on practical simulations and reflection on the importance of one's own experiences for everyday project work. In addition, all units contain suggestions for the systematic deepening of the learned concepts and pieces of advice.
