Workshop: Do I Want to Pursue a PhD?
Sat, Jun 13, 8:00 AM# **Do I Want to Pursue a PhD? Let's find out together!** Are you considering whether a PhD could be the right next step for you? Maybe you are drawn to research, academic work, or the idea of exploring one topic in real depth. Maybe you are thinking about an academic career. Or maybe you are simply curious whether a PhD would fit your goals, strengths, working style, and current life situation. In this three-hour interactive workshop, you will have the space to explore these questions in a structured and open way. Together, we will look at your motivations, expectations, resources, and potential challenges on the path toward a PhD. ## **What is this workshop about?** You will work on questions such as: * What draws me to the idea of pursuing a PhD? * What personal, academic, or professional motivations are shaping my interest? * How might academic work connect with the way I enjoy thinking, learning, and working? * What strengths, experiences, and resources could support me on this path? ## **Who is this meetup for?** This meetup is designed for people considering a PhD at any stage of their life. You do not need to have a finished research topic yet. It is enough if you are genuinely curious about whether a PhD might be right for you. ## **What to expect** * short inputs on the reality of pursuing a PhD * guided reflection exercises on motivation, goals, and fit * exchange with others considering a PhD * structured analysis of your resources and possible challenges ## **Practical details** **Format:** interactive workshop **Duration:** 3 hours **Target group:** people considering a PhD at any stage of their life **Prior knowledge:** none required ## **Facilitation** This workshop will be facilitated by **[Dr. Jonas Röttger](https://www.linkedin.com/in/dr-jonas-r%C3%B6ttger-645952102/)**.

How is AI changing our work?
Fri, Jun 5, 3:00 PM**This event is taking place online.** You have probably tried AI. Maybe you use it quietly. Maybe you opened it, stared at the blank prompt, and closed the tab.

Welcome to our community! 17:00 — An intro: Why are we here? 17:15 — What research and data shows us about how AI impacts work 17:30 — Where are you right now, what have you tried, what is in your way? 17:45 — What comes next: shaping the next session together This is the first meetup in a series.
