Description

Invitation to the 9th annual PhDnet meeting

You often wonder whether your MPI is the only MPI out there?

You always wanted to know what people from MPIs at the other end of the country do?

You sometimes wonder if other PhDs have the same issues that you or your institute's PhDs have?

You are newly elected PhD representative and longing to learn about the experiences of other PhDs?

You always wanted to discuss hot topics concerning PhDs with the president of the MPS?

You are interested in achieving soft skills for your professional life and your work as a PhD representative?

You would like to play an active part in the PhD network (PhDnet) of the MPS?

You always wanted to enjoy some nice days with PhDs from other institutes in an amazing town?

If all of this or parts of this is you or you have other reasons to be interested, then come to the 9th annual PhDnet meeting in Munich

All PhD representatives and other interested PhD students from Max Planck Institutes are invited to join!

      You will be able to participate in a one-day soft skill seminar, Thursday 14th, 14:00-18:30 and Friday 15th, 8:30-13:00. Please choose which course you would like to attend and two alternatives. If you cannot attend the course or do not want to, please write us (ckiessig[at]mpp.mpg.de) a mail, so we know we can fill this place. For more information, see the timetable.

      Conversation techniques (David Lamb)
      You will practise basic strategies of good communication (e.g., active listening, question and discussion techniques) and examine how general they are and to which situations they can be applied (10–12 participants).

      Negotiating for results (Silke Weigang)
      You will learn basic aspects about the nature of conflicts, as well as negotiating strategies and methods concretised by means of selected cases (10–12 participants).

      Speakers and their situation (Matthias Beckmann)
      You will learn basic techniques for structuring talks, interacting with the audience and dealing with feedback. You will simulate situations where you would like to improve and do so via feedback of the group and the trainer (10–12 participants).

      Team management and conflict resolution (Monika Thiel)
      You will learn basic aspects of teams, conflict situations as well as communication and resolution strategies. You will gain practical experience via roleplay and reflexion phases and discuss how to apply these to your professional life (15–20 participants).

      Time and self management (Anne-Maike Winter)
      This course is about time thieves, time investment, (self-) motivation, prioritization and delegation strategies. These will be applied and intensified individually in one-to-one or small group work (15–20 participants).

      Conversation techniques (David Lamb)
      You will practise basic strategies of good communication (e.g., active listening, question and discussion techniques) and examine how general they are and to which situations they can be applied (10–12 participants).

      Negotiating for results (Silke Weigang)
      You will learn basic aspects about the nature of conflicts, as well as negotiating strategies and methods concretised by means of selected cases (10–12 participants).

      Speakers and their situation (Matthias Beckmann)
      You will learn basic techniques for structuring talks, interacting with the audience and dealing with feedback. You will simulate situations where you would like to improve and do so via feedback of the group and the trainer (10–12 participants).

      Team management and conflict resolution (Monika Thiel)
      You will learn basic aspects of teams, conflict situations as well as communication and resolution strategies. You will gain practical experience via roleplay and reflexion phases and discuss how to apply these to your professional life (15–20 participants).

      Time and self management (Anne-Maike Winter)
      This course is about time thieves, time investment, (self-) motivation, prioritization and delegation strategies. These will be applied and intensified individually in one-to-one or small group work (15–20 participants).
