Stay calm during your doctorate
The content of the seminar is adjusted to the specifics of the living and working environment of doctoral researchers and strengthens a healthy and productive way of dealing with potential stress factors. An overview of the seminar contents can be found below. The dates are designed as four-hour training sessions (including breaks).
The goal of the seminar is to provide guidance in the promotion phase and to practice integrating the behaviors learned in the training into everyday life.
Intervention Study of the seminar "Stay calm during your doctorate"
2022 the “Stay calm during your doctorate” stress management seminar was accompanied by a randomized intervention study to evaluate its long-term effect on doctoral students.

Academic tasks and administration, tutoring and teaching, partner projects… and family first of all! You can feel the stress building up even while reading this.

This workshop uses cognitive stress models to show how stress is triggered and the ways in which it can be reduced and avoided.
Resilience and Well-Being in Academia
A workshop offered by the Bonn Graduate Center
Academia is an ultramarathon that we try to run as a sprint.

This workshop provides you with tools to increase your resilience to stress, anxiety and burnout, and to enhance your overall well-being.
