The doctorate is an independent and autonomous scientific achievement of the doctoral candidate, which is accompanied by experienced scientists, the supervisors. Knowledge of how to proactively (co-)design the doctoral project and the supervisory relationship is a basic prerequisite and can positively influence the success of a doctorate.

This workshop aims to inform (new) doctoral candidates and those interested in doing a doctorate and motivate them to actively participate in shaping their doctoral project in order to create a good basis for their doctoral project.

Together we will

• discuss what good supervision is
• get to know approaches and methods for actively shaping doctoral projects and supervision relationships
• learn how possible conflicts can be prevented and what options are available in the event of a conflict.
