Final sprint for female PhD researchers
You want to complete and submit your PhD thesis in the next few months? Are you looking for time and space to focus your work? At the same time you don't want to isolate yourself? Then become part of our Final Sprint-Group! Female PhD researchers in the last months of their PhD project meet (digitally) for self-directed writing and working groups to motivate themselves on the last meters of the dissertation, to work in a focused way and to exchange ideas about challenges. To this end, there are (bi-)weekly short focus meetings to set goals and write. The focus meetings are framed by three half-day workshops that offer content input as well as time for writing. Writing here means all activities that require rest and concentration (revising, structuring, analyzing, writing, thinking, etc.). At the end, what has been achieved so far is to be duly celebrated.
This is a joint offer of the mentoring programme and the Kompetenzzentrum Schreiben.
Target group: Doctoral candidates from all faculties who are currently aiming to complete their doctorate.
The next final sprint group will start in August 2025.
Schedule:
First Meeting (9.00-13.00): Kick off for the final sprint - introduction to the concept, getting to know the group and writing time (online)
Second Meeting (9:00-13:00): Half-time to catch your breath - reflection in the group, writing time and input on the topic “procrastination” (online)
