Primers for Predocs – Strategien für eine erfolgreiche Promotion
Eine Dissertation ist ein Großprojekt, das neben der fachlichen Kompetenz eine Vielfalt von anderen Fähigkeiten erfordert. Promovierende müssen ein gutes Zeitmanagement betreiben, ,nebenbei‘ unterrichten, ihre Forschungsergebnisse präsentieren, bei der Arbeit im internationalen Kontext interkulturell kompetent sein, den Berufseinstieg vorbereiten, vielleicht schon eine eigene Familie managen und vieles mehr.
In unserer Vortragsreihe „Primers for PreDocs“ stellen wechselnde Dozent/innen diese und andere Themen in kurzen Lectures vor. Anschließend gibt es die Möglichkeit, bei einem kleinen Empfang mit den Redner/innen ins Gespräch zu kommen.
