Target group: Doctoral candidates in Natural and Life Sciences

Course language: English

Description:

In this workshop, you will have the opportunity to network intensively with other (international) doctoral candidates, reflect on your doctoral process and identify current challenges. At the end of the workshop, you will be invited to form peer coaching groups that can meet regularly after the workshop in order to support each other.

What can you expect?

• Reflection exercises: Together you will reflect on your experiences and challenges in your doctorate.
• Setting goals: You will formulate concrete goals for the coming semester.
• Peer coaching: You will familiarise yourself with the concept of ‘Success Teams’ according to Barbara Sher. This approach offers you a structured framework to track your progress together and support each other in a confidential setting.

Why take part?
The workshop offers you an excellent opportunity to become part of a peer coaching group that will provide you with long-term support in your doctoral process. Regular meetings and mutual commitment ensure that you continuously work on your goals and overcome obstacles together.

What happens after the workshop?
At the end of the workshop, you decide whether you would like to participate in this format "Peer Coaching Group". The groups organise themselves independently and meet over a period of around one semester. Afterwards, the process is reflected upon and if (all) members decide to continue the group, adjustments can be made if necessary.
