Onboarding in German Academia
Information and support for doctoral researchers new to the German academic system
Researching, teaching, supervising, and working in the German academic system brings with it challenges in terms of communication and collaboration. An understanding of how research organisations work, what structures they follow, what career opportunities there are and what expectations are associated with them creates clarity about the requirements and more security in collaboration.
This workshop aims to feel more confident within the German Higher Education system by having insight in requirements and expectations in research, teaching and supervision. A reflective view about communication, relationships and expectations with supervisors, colleagues and other co-workers supports a better understanding of how to get the support needed.
