Workshop: What comes after my phd?

Can I change the title of my dissertation? Is there a time slot when to hand in my dissertation? What’s the process of a dissertation? When is a good time to think about what comes “after?” And what do I have to do if I want to get famous?

The softskills workshop “What Comes After My PhD” was a mix between playful self-interrogation (“How do I feel about my dissertation?” “What are my strategies to finish my dissertation?”), input about formal requirements (they differ depending on the university and faculty, but what matters in the end is that PhD students consult with their first advisors, and with the administration), and a lively exchange with our three guests: Julia Fendt, Thomas Kippes, Jessica Lee.

The central message of the workshop? Stay excited!
