Online-Workshop:
Goal in sight: organising the final phase of your PhD
Dr. Vera Leberecht | November 23rd & 24th 2023 | 10:00 a.m. (s.t.) - 05:00 p.m. (1st day), 09:30 a.m. (s.t.) - 04:30 p.m. | Zoom-Link: t.b.a.
This workshop is directed at doctoral researchers, who intend to submit their dissertation within the next year.
Many doctoral researchers realise that throughout the dissertation process, not only their topic and focus have shifted, but also their research aims and scopes have changed. Duties keep piling up, demanding more work and energy than anticipated. At the same time, ideas and results need to be put on paper, and more and more text parts need to be revised and polished.
In this situation, the workshop offers a platform to look back at what you have already achieved, and to look into the future to realistically plan the remaining tasks and time.
On day 1, we focus on the following issues:
- taking inventory: what has worked well so far, and what could be improved?
- looking back, and looking forward: strategies to manage research, writing, and revising efficiently and effectively
On day 2, we zoom in on planning realistically:
- structuring texts, organising time and tasks
- finishing the PhD successfully: realistic planning with the goal in sight
Following up on the workshop, you have the opportunity to get together in writing tandems or peer feedback groups to support each other in your writing projects on a long-term basis, possibly with some additional trainer input/support.
