| First Generation Docs Connect | 02.06.2026 16:00 - 19:00 (Tue) | Beach Mitte, Caroline-Michaelis-Str. 8, 10115 Berlin (S Nordbahnhof/ U Naturkundemuseum) |
This is an event primarily for doctoral researchers with a non-academic familiy background. Invited guests with similar backgrounds 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, should bring their own water or buy some in the café on the grounds.

Further information
Doctoral programs calculate credits 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.
Please be aware that following the event, you will have the opportunity to enjoy some time outside. We have booked the volleyball courts for two hours. If you would like to participate, please come prepared with appropriate clothing and beverages.
