Programme

Programme:

We start with the registration on Wednesday, 9:00 am. The activities begin at 9:30 am with the first two Project Pitch Sessions - a great opportunity to get to know each other and network with your peers.

To get to know the GSLS better, we will give you an introduction to the GSLS after the lunch break, covering the following topics: 

• Introduction to the Doctoral Researchers' Council
• Introduction to the Doctoral Researchers’ Symposium
• The different phases of a PhD: what to expect, challenges and opportunities
• Your benefit from a structured training  programme

Afterwards we will continue with the third Project Pitch Session.

In the afternoon we offer a City Tour of Würzburg to give you an insight into the history and culture of the city you are living in.

To round off the first day in a relaxed fashion the DRC offers a pub crawl starting at the Alte Mainbrücke after the City Tour.

On Thursday, 9:00 am - approx. 4:00 pm we offer a range of one-day workshops which count towards the requirements of the structured programme. Places allocated on a first come, first served basis!

! Please note that the Intercultural Communication Workshop will take place on Friday, 29th November 2024!

For those admitted to the PhD programme of the GSLS (as opposed to the Dr. rer. nat.), please note that 'Intercultural Communication' is a mandatory workshop which you need to attend before you can graduate.

• Academic writing (in person)
• Project Management (in person)
• Analyzing your Market Potential as Scientist (online)
• Intercultural communication (in person)

Friday, 9:00 am - approx. 1:30 pm

All participants will have a seminar on "Good Scientific Practice" – detailing the conduct expected from every scientist at our university. This course is mandatory and must be attended before you can graduate, so this is a good opportunity to already fulfill this requirement!
