Special rules apply for this course

Learning objectives
A student who has met the objectives of the course will be able to:

1. Familiarise himself/herself with the most important project management methods and instruments: Essentials for surviving the doctorate

Content
New, time limited and complex - such are the tasks generally undertaken as projects. A work environment without project work is almost unimaginable nowadays. And this is not only true for the non-academic sector: Even the doctorate is a project!
Proven project management tools pave the way for the professional development and planning of projects, for competent guiding of their implementation and for their successful completion. With the help of these tools even difficult steps in the project journey can be safely navigated.
During the workshop the participants familiarize themselves with the most important project management methods and instruments. The following topics are at the core of the workshop:

Part 1: Essentials of surviving the doctorate

• Basics of project management: From design to completion of a project
• Taking ownership of your PhD and your projects: Clarification of goals and roles
• How to handle the unforeseen: Strategies for dealing with risks and chances
• Stakeholder analysis: Where do I find support for my project?
• Communication is key even in science: Power of persuasion and assertiveness
• Lone ranger? Interaction with colleagues and scientific community
• Self-management: Tips and tricks which really work
• Personal development and career advancement: What do I have to focus on?
• Scientific project planning and management: My next steps
