The seminar program of the Graduate Academy supports doctoral candidates in developing the skills and in obtaining the qualifications necessary to successfully accomplish their dissertations and to develop professional perspectives for their career in academia or in the private sector.
Beside the open course program for which doctoral candidates can register individually, we organize courses for structured doctoral programs. These courses are provided in cooperation with collaborators at the University as well as with qualified trainers.

Time and Project Management // 14.11.2023
9 am–5 pm; Dr. Jan Stamm (impulsplus)
Online
For most people, doing a PhD is the first major research project that they have to master on their own. There is a multitude of challenges along the way (i.e. getting smart ideas, getting along with supervisors, mastering the basics of scientific work…). A good time and project management is essential in order to set one’s focus right and use one’s time and energy in a productive and efficient way.

Shared Leadership // 28. & 29.11.2023
9–16 Uhr; Dr. Jan Schmidt (janschmidt-training)
Online
Im wissenschaftlichen Kontext kommt es immer wieder vor, dass Teams sich selber organisieren müssen. Häufig entwickeln sich dann informelle Leitungsstrukturen, die nicht autorisiert sind, oder es entsteht ein zähes diskutieren und ringen, wer denn nun welche Aufgabe übernimmt. Ein Blick auf selbstorganisierte Teams kann an dieser Stelle Abhilfe schaffen, da es in agilen Strukturen schon länger hierarchiefreie Formen der Zusammenarbeit gibt, in denen dennoch klar strukturiert und effizient gearbeitet wird.

Registration / Cancellation
The courses are only open to doctoral students who are registered at a faculty of Heidelberg University. Doctoral students who are registered at a foreign university but are in Heidelberg temporarily for research purposes can take part in the courses if they are matriculated as a visiting student or have a visiting scholar card (the card is available at the Welcome Centre).
Registration for the courses takes place through an online form found at the end of each course description.
We expect participants to be present for the entire duration of the course. Exceptions can be made only after prior consultation with the Graduate Academy. We will issue certificates of participation only to those participants who have attended at least 80% of the course.
Fees
We charge a small fee for the courses, usually in the amount of 15 Euro per course day (exceptions are possible). This is a lump-sum fee that covers the costs for refreshments and course materials, among others. Any surplus which may arise flows back into the course program.
Several weeks before the course begins, you will receive a payment request containing the pertinent bank account and reference information. We ask you to pay the fee by bank transfer within one week.
We charge different fees for the German language courses. The regulations for these courses are found in the course description.
