Workshop: “Combining family and an academic career” (12 & 29 Nov 2024)

For all those who are about to complete their doctorate or have already completed their doctorate and are preparing for an academic career as parents:

Children make life fast-paced and colorful. Children shake up our view of the world and throw our life plans into disarray in a good mood. And they need time and our attention – just like the job. Children AND a career – is that possible?

The workshop is about taking a critical look at your own life and career plans: What exactly do I want to reconcile: how much career, how much family, how much me? What values, needs and role expectations do I have, what are there in the family? What are the structural framework conditions, what are my individual reserves of energy? And how would I like to set my priorities (differently) accordingly?

The course focuses on the resources of the individual participants in a solution-oriented way. They will identify what takes one´s strength away as well as typical stumbling blocks in the context of family and academia and work out possible ways to deal with them successfully.

Depending on the participants, the workshop will be held in English or German.

The first date (12 November 2024, 9:00 – 15:30 h) will take place in presence and the second (29 November 2024 9:00 – 11:00 h) online.
