S4 Workshop: Project Management for 1st and 2nd Year Scholars

Dates: Wednesday - Friday, November 26 - 28
Times Daily: 9:00 - 13:00
Location: Remote via Zoom
Trainer: Dr. Christina Schütte

A doctorate is a complex and long lasting project. If it is not usefully structured from the beginning it is easy to lose sight of the bigger picture and often also motivation in a maze of possibilities. 

Developing a full understanding of your goals – for the doctorate as well as for the labor market entry which follows – is a prerequisite for an efficient working process. This will allow a strategic and reflexive approach starting with the selection of a suitable topic through to the realistic conceptualization of the different phases of work. Participants will improve their skills as project manager by:

• defining goals effectively
• using project management tools to plan and execute scientific projects successfully
• improve self organization by applying appropriate time management tools
• learn techniques for effective communication, delegation, team motivation and conflict management
