Ever feel like science is easy for everyone else but you?
Do you feel guilty every time you put down your work just a little bit?
If you want to stop doubting yourself, quit feeling like an imposter amongst fellow scientists, and finally have the work-life balance you deserve, this workshop is made for you.
This semester's program includes a kick-off event, a three-part workshop and a sports event. It will be carried out in English and is offered for all doctoral candidates and postdocs at the Universität Regensburg.
Each of the workshop sessions contains a short introduction of the key concepts and practical tasks that you can apply to your individual experiences. You may register for individual parts, but we recommend that you attend the entire sequence. Since the number of participants is limited, make sure to sign up in advance and let us know beforehand if you cannot make it so people on the waiting list can join in.
Please register now!
