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.

Many doctoral programs award credit points for participation in workshops and other qualification programs. One work unit (WU) corresponds to 45 minutes of workshop time. In some cases they might round up.
- 8 work units equal 0.5 credit points.
- For shorter workshops, credits are calculated proportionally based on the work units.
- Credit transfer requires the accumulation of a sufficient number of work units.
Example: Participation in two workshops of three hours each result in a total of 8 work units and therefore 0,5 credit points would be granted. As the transfer of credits is decided by the doctoral programs or doctoral offices, please contact them directly with any questions in this regard.
Regardless of on-site or online workshops, we would like to refer to the rules at Freie Universität Berlin, which can be found in the Code of Conduct.
