Networking
With perspektive promotion, we promote networking, interaction and self-organization among female* doctoral researchers. After all, pursuing a doctorate predominantly means working in isolation. For many, this leads to a sense of insecurity, motivational difficulties and writing blocks. Discussing how to deal with difficulties of this sort often provides enormous relief.
Through our networking services, you will experience a stimulating feeling of togetherness and strengthen one another.
Zeit für Reflexion – Meine Forschung und ich
Forschungssupervision für Promovendinnen aller Fachbereiche
Vom 21. Juni ab 17.30 Uhr bis zum 23. Juni 2024 um 14 Uhr
max. 12 Teilnehmerinnen
Anmeldung erforderlich
Achtung: Die Teilnahme an allen Tagen inkl. Übernachtungen ist kostenlos und verpflichtend!
Was mache ich aus dieser Forschungsarbeit? Und was macht diese Forschungsarbeit aus mir? Eine Promotion bewegt sich oftmals an der Schnittstelle von persönlichen Fragen und Forschungsfragen. Die intrinsische Motivation, die durch diese enge Verzahnung entsteht ist produktiv. Sie kann aber auch dazu führen, dass Arbeit und Leben in Beziehung und Zeit kaum mehr zu trennen sind. Blockaden und Erschöpfungssymptome können die Folge sein.
In diesem Wochenendseminar lernen Sie, verschiedene Beziehungsebenen, die den Erfolg einer Promotion maßgeblich mitbestimmen, bewusst zu reflektieren und anschließend möglichst selbstbestimmt und aktiv zu gestalten. Dabei geht es um vielfache Formen von Beziehung: Der Beziehung zu den eigenen Stärken und Schwächen bei der eigenständigen wissenschaftlichen Arbeit, die Beziehung zu wissenschaftlichen Betreuungspersonen, den persönlichen Bezug zum Forschungsthema, die Beziehung zwischen Arbeitszeit und Lebenszeit sowie die Beziehung zu möglichen Inspirations- und Unterstützungsquellen. Mit Hilfe kreativer Selbsterfahrungsübungen aus der Gestaltungssupervision haben Sie die Möglichkeit individuell stimmige Konfliktlösungen bzw. konstruktive Haltungen zu erarbeiten. Dabei werden auch Ihre individuellen Lebens- und Arbeitswirklichkeiten berücksichtigt sowie Genderperspektiven reflektiert.
Das Seminar ist als Interimsveranstaltung mit zwei Übernachtungen konzipiert, um Ihnen Raum für Reflexion abseits des sonst oft hektischen Alltags zu bieten. Der idyllische Lethehof in Wardenburg und das „Rund-um-Sorglos-Paket“ mit Vollverpflegung laden Sie dazu ein, sich vollständig auf die Forschungssupervision einzulassen und die Pausen in grüner Umgebung zu verbringen.
Sprache: Deutsch
Ort: Hotel Lethehof, Wardenburg
Leitung:
Dr. Anita Barkhausen, Dipl.-Psychologin, Wissenschaftscoach und Supervisorin
Anmeldung: Bitte senden Sie eine kurze Mail, in der Sie in wenigen Sätzen Ihre Motivation darlegen, warum Sie an der Forschungssupervision teilnehmen möchten mit Angaben zu Ihrem Namen, Ihrer E-Mail-Adresse und dem Fachbereich und/oder Forschungsinstitut, dem Sie angehören, an perspektive.promotion@uni-bremen.de. Vielen Dank!

Managing doctoral projects is oftentimes multifaceted and highly demanding - whether it is managing your research, publications or presentations, coping with one’s own and other’s expectations, tackling complex projects, communicating with your supervisors or simply planning the doctorate phase as a career phase.
In this peer mentoring we will explore your status quo, find solutions and support each other. Employing a collaborative working approach inspired by the "Working Out Loud" method, we will make scientific networking a habit. We will create a space to develop strategies and methods and give each other constructive input. The purpose of this peer mentoring is for you to achieve your personal goals and meet your challenges – with special regard to your professional, intercultural, as well as family- and gender-related parameters.
In the first on-site session we will make a deep dive into evaluating your demands, needs and expectations, get to know role models and learn helpful methods. In the four following online sessions, you will iteratively assess your own progress, give and find support for the advance of your plans and actively practice networking skills. In the final session, we evaluate the learnings, establish structures and receive hands-on tools for further collaboration.
Language: English
Location: Introductory workshop & closing event on-site, online sessions via zoom
Coach: Dr Lima Sayed, diversity expert, trainer and systematic coach
Registration: You can register for the workshop here.

Co-working-Space for female* doctoral researchers and women*, who are interested in a doctorate having (small) children
Starting and pursuing a doctorate costs a lot of time and energy. At once, daily routine and regular exchange possibilities are often lacking in the everyday life of doctoral researchers. If the responsibility for (small) children comes on top, the challenges are even greater: time for work is always rare, flexibility is reduced and personal resources are rapidly exhausted.
Especially female* doctoral researchers and women* who are interested in a doctorate having (small) children often have trouble to stay tuned to their dissertation project or to reconnect after a “baby break” with research and the academic environment. Networking and interacting with women* who are in a similar situation as well as a regular appointment in the university premises can help against this kind of alienation.
Our co-working offer gives you the opportunity to meet up once a week with other female* doctoral researchers and women* interested in a doctorate and having (small) children at the university. In this setting, you can try to share academic working on the one hand and caring for the children on the other hand. The family room established by the working group “Familiy friendly University” provides therefore wireless LAN and workplaces as well as an activity area and baby changing facilities.
weekly on Wednesdays (from September 21, 2022) 1 to 5 pm
Family room established by the AG FFS (accessible via the rooms of the nursery “Wuselhöhle” on the Boulevard)
Max. 5 participants* with children

Time for exchange – Online talk session for female doctoral researchers of all departments
After an initial phase of adjustment and organisation, we all are living some sort of “coronavirus pandemic everyday life”. Face to-face contacts of personal and scientific life remain limited and most of our communication is based on the use of online conference tools. If you feel the desire to exchange views on your daily PhD life on a regular basis, in our online talk sessions we offer you the opportunity to stay in contact with other doctoral candidates.
During our online talk sessions, you can discuss questions such as "How is my dissertation advancing?”, “What are my intermediate goals to achieve?” and “How do I stay motivated?”. Furthermore, you can share your experiences with other doctoral researchers and give or get advice. We, the team of perspektive promotion, accompany the talk sessions and answer general questions on the process of accomplishing a PhD.
For the online talk sessions we are using the video conference software StarLeaf.
Please enlist for each date separately via our registration form.
Language: English
Due to a lack of demand, there are no talk sessions planned (for now). Please contact us via e-mail (perspektive.promotionprotect me ?!uni-bremenprotect me ?!.de), if you would be interested in participating!
