Workshop

The workshop aims to support the participants in selecting doctoral candidates according to meaningful criteria and to provide them with excellent support.

• Which criteria make sense for the selection of doctoral candidates and
  how can they be tested in the selection process?
• How can one compare one's expectations and those of the doctoral candidates at the beginning of the doctoral process and make them transparent? How can a doctoral agreement be concluded based on expectations?
• How can the needs of the doctoral candidates in the doctoral process be identified to enable appropriate support?
• What does it mean that the doctorate is a learning process:
  What should be learned, how can it be learned and who is responsible?
• Maintain motivation - avoid demotivation: What is important from a motivational perspective for the supervision of doctoral students?
• Communication as a central element of support:
  Giving and receiving feedback - how does that work?
• Conflict management
• Intercultural and interdisciplinary challenges of supervision
• Evaluation of doctoral theses: How can criteria for grades be defined and how should coordination with other supervisors take place?
