Get Organized: Self-management for Doctoral researchers

The Berlin University Alliance (BUA) is an alliance of Freie Universität Berlin, Humboldt-Universität zu Berlin, Technische Universität Berlin and Charité - Universitätsmedizin Berlin.Together, they are pursuing the goal of creating and shaping an integrated research space in Berlin. This alliance aims to establish Berlin as a leading international science location. All workshops and events offered by the Graduate Studies Support Program are funded by the BUA and therefore free of charge.

Participation

Doctoral researchers (all disciplines) of the Berlin University Alliance in their first year.

Before booking a workshop, please make sure that you can attend for the entire duration. Please check our terms and conditions.

Objectives

Organization and productivity go hand-in-hand. For doctoral students, organization can feel elusive. If I could just get organized, I’d feel so much better about my work! In this workshop, we’ll focus on how to get organized in a way that truly works for you. We’ll learn tools that you can use that actually work for you and your working style, how to work with your strengths, and how to manage stress and build resilience through organizational methods and tools.
We’ll explore effective self-management, sustainable methods, how to build a schedule that really works, how to set priorities for ourselves and with others, and what to do to make sure that we stay on track over time. Our workshop focus will be methods and approaches that truly work for ourselves as individuals and that best fit our needs and encourage us to stay motivated.
