Description

Scientific work is more like a marathon than a sprint. The success of a doctoral thesis, for example, is the result of several years of research, while short-term successes are the exception rather than the rule. This framework of scientific qualification results in special challenges for self and time management: realistic estimation of time, dayly and weekly routines and self-discipline are just some of these challenges that have to be mastered during a doctorate.

The workshop's methods include individual and group work, input and plenum discussions and you will profit from sharing your experiences with peers and with the trainer. You will also be introduced to many useful resources that act as a first aid kit containing your personal remedies against the setbacks of a dissertation.
