Room Decision

This one-day midway course is highly recommended for WIAS PhD candidates that are at the end of their second year or the begin of their third year. Around this midway point some PhDs lose some of their initial motivation. You are facing real challenges; you want to overcome them and regain your motivation to complete your PhD. To help you do this:

  • We will start the day with a motivational speaker to inspire you and to (re)kindle your motivation for science.
  • You will be solving some actual problems/challenges using the InterVision method. You will be working in small groups to advise each other about possible solutions in a structured way. At the end of this course, your self-guided capability of problem solving will have increased.
  • You will be taking part in a workshop to help to cope with anxiety and fear of failure.
  • We will conclude the day with drinks and informal discussions to continue to strengthen PhD relationships.

Fee

This course is free of charge for all WIAS PhD candidates.
