First Generation Docs Connect (organized by Freie Universität and Humboldt Universität)

Content

Peer network for doctoral researchers from non-academic families

“Are your parents academics?” The answer to this question has a higher impact on education and academic careers than migration background and gender.
Consequently, family background as a dimension of diversity has gained attention throughout the last years.

Invited guests with a non academic family background  will share their personal experiences, discuss available support options, and answer your questions.
The event offers space to share experiences, build connections, and learn about support opportunities for first-generation doctoral researchers.
Anyone interested can join a network and help develop it. All this is taking place in Beach Mitte. Dip your toes into the sand and connect.

Beverages and snacks will be provide during the official part. Who wants to stay longer and (e.g.) play volleyball.  
We have booked the volleyball courts for two hours. If you would like to participate, please come prepared with appropriate clothing and  beverages.

Further information 

Doctoral programs calculate credit points based on the number of work units earned through workshop participation.
Each work unit represents 45 minutes of workshop time, and 8 work units equal 0.5 credit points.
For mini workshops (less than 8 work units), credits are calculated proportionally based on the work units.
Please note: To be eligible for credit transfer, you must accumulate enough work units from short workshops.
For example, attending two 3-hour workshops results in 8 work units (2 workshops x 4 work units each), which equals 0.5 credits.
