Lessons Learned

While the 4th generation of the Boysen-TU Dresden-Research Training Group is picking up speed and more and more doctoral students are beginning their project at the Falkenbrunnen premises in Dresden , the last overlaps with the doctoral students of the 3rd generation were used to conduct a "Lessons Learned" event. The 3rd generation doctoral students reported on their experiences during the doctoral period. Topics such as publications, dissertation writing as well as the management of time, knowledge and frustration were addressed. The focus was on everything, that fit the formulation "If I had known that at the beginning, I would have handled it that way." The 4th generation doctoral students were enthusiastic about this event:

"It set us up well for the road ahead."  (Stefan Röher, 4th generation doctoral student).
"Here, not only is the acquired professional knowledge passed on to the next generation, but also the knowledge of how this is best acquired."  (Stefan Heidinger, 3rd generation doctoral student)
