Our new coaching format is entering its second round and this time is explicitly aimed at international doctoral candidates of UDE. The 1-year moderated peer group coaching starts on 19 August 2024 (12 appointments in total, mondays 10-12h). The course language is English. Supervisor: Valentina Vasilov.

Doing a doctorate can be fulfilling - and quite lonesome and frustrating at the same time. Working together with a group can bring in new perspectives, insights and options for action as well as clarity and increased motivation for goal achievement.
The moderated peer group coaching for international doctoral researchers at the UDE therefore supports you on the path to your doctorate and in your further career planning through (self-)reflection, feedback and interdisciplinary skills development.

Application deadline: 31 July 2024

Female doctoral researchers from all subject groups at the University Alliance Ruhr can now apply for the next programme line in the mentoring³ programme. The two-year career development programme for female academics will begin in fall 2024.

At the centre of mentoring³ is the personal and trusting exchange between mentee and mentor. In addition to advice on career planning and a broader understanding of the academic world, mentoring, which is flanked by a varied event process, offers considerable added value in terms of solidarity and networking among female academics as well as an honest and open exchange on (subject-related) career issues in corresponding peer groups.

Application deadline: 30 June 2024

All information on the programme and the application procedure as well as the details of the contact persons can be found here.

In this workshop, participants will develop key messages, storylines and initial format ideas for communicating their research to a non-specialist audience.

Participants will first receive an introduction to the goals and formats of science communication. In the course of the workshop, participants will determine their individual communication goals and learn to get to the heart of key elements of their research activities based on these.

Contemporary scientific and research practice no longer takes place exclusively in isolated disciplinary contexts, but in discussion and exchange with non-scientific social actors.
In view of the complex and pressing problems of our time, intensive and professional cooperation with society is just as important as the targeted translation of scientific knowledge in the sense of successful science communication.

Over two days, the application-oriented workshop introduces aspects of science communication and social (external) impact, enables dialogical engagement with society and its moderation and locates the role of scientists in relation to social stakeholder groups. 1-day participation is possible.

Participation is free of charge. Registration is required until 15 May: https://eveeno.com/science-in-society

We all plan and organize our day somehow. So the question is not whether you want to do time and self-management, but how you do it. Heavy workloads, complex projects and ever more crises constantly confront us with new challenges. In this course, basic techniques of time management will be presented as well as specifics that have to be considered when working scientifically – also in a home office.

“So many tasks! I don’t know where to start!”, is a common challenge when it comes to preparing for exams, writing homework assignments and certainly when facing a doctorate. To eliminate overwhelm and get (the right) things done, it is essential to have a clear goal, a long and midterm-plan and to be organized on a day-to-day basis. As a result of the workshop, each participant has a solid plan and the tools to continue planning. We will also discuss how to deal with delays and other obstacles, so that participants are equiped to navigate challenges as they come up.

The Inclusion Officer of the UDE and the GC Plus once again invite you to a digital exchange on the topic of doing a doctorate with a disability or chronic illness. Participants can share their experiences and wishes in a confidential space. Questions about doctoral studies will be answered and the information website will be presented. We look forward to a lively participation, especially if you yourself live with impairments and are thinking about a doctorate or are already doing one.
