On June 7, 2023, we celebrated a PhD Day at TU Ilmenau for the first time. In addition to many interesting program items, our doctoral candidates (and those who want to become doctoral candidates) could expect an informative and varied agenda on the topic of doctorates.

  • How do you finance it?
  • How do you plan your project?
  • How do you do a doctorate with children?
  • How do you teach?
  • What can you do for your mental health?
 

These and other aspects were discussed. During the lunch talk, Ilmenau alumni talked about what happened to them after their doctorate, the (re)paths they had to take and whether doing a doctorate has paid off for their career.

We were delighted that so many young academics responded to our call and joined us for a day dedicated entirely to the topic of doctorates. The organizational team - consisting of the PhD Council, Equality, the MNI e.V. and the Graduate Center - would like to thank all colleagues for their active support and their willingness to answer questions on the various topics related to doctoral studies.
