Participation
For doctoral researchers of all BUA partner institutions in their first year.
Objectives
Achieving goals such as completing a research project is challenging. Decisions have to be made that need to be questioned and reflected upon. Even though we have a social network of friends and family, they might not understand ones professional troubles. The doctorate can be a very stressful time. Being in work-off mode can make alternative approaches seem out of sight. An outside perspective and the exchange with peers can be helpful. A peer support group ( after the idea of a success team) is more than just about celebrating achievements. During the meetings, the group is encouraged to support each other without supervision using a specific support method. The team will determine how, how often and for how long the collaboration will continue.
Three meetings will be acompanied by the coach, the following meetings will be set and held by the group after learning the method. The first meeting will take place in person. The second and third meeting can be offered both in person or online. (Dates will be set with the group). More supervised sessions with the coach can be offered on demand.
Further Information
For workshops held online, participation is allowed under the following conditions: a working camera that is turned on and a microphone to allow active participation in discussions and group work. Headphones must also be used to protect other participants from office eavesdroppers. In this context, we would also like to refer to the rules for digital courses at Freie Universität Berlin (Code of Conduct).
