This workshop is organized by the iRTG PROTEOFORuM.
The workshop ‘Getting Started. The path to a successful doctorate’ focuses on the critical elements for a successful doctoral journey: Which mindsets, tools, and processes make a real difference on the way to a PhD? We concentrate on three areas: The efficient organization of tasks and notes, the productive communication with supervisors and the research community, and the structured reading and writing of academic papers. Additionally, the workshop will introduce techniques for self-management to support productivity and well-being throughout the PhD journey. The specific agenda will be tailored to the interests of the participants to ensure the content is relevant and particular emphasis will be placed on strategies for participants to successfully transfer learnings from this workshop to their own work context.
