Content

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 course the participants familiarize themselves with the most important project management methods and instruments. The following topics are at the core of the course:

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
