Content:

Do I want to pursue a scientific career or do I go a different way? How can I find out, what I want? Probably every student asks him- or herself these questions during a PhD. With a mix of knowledge transfer, self-reflection, exchange of personal experience and practical exercises, this seminar aims to provide the participants guidance in getting a clearer picture of themselves and their future. First, we take inventory of your personal and professional situation and reflect your own strengths and values, as well as factors you need for your own job satisfaction. Based on this competency profile, we then look at the future and develop you own vision.

Methods:

The seminar is a mix of knowledge transfer, self-reflection and practical exercises in small groups.
