Welcome: 24 Doctoral Researcher’s begin the new Structured Doctoral Program Health Sciences

The focus of the introductory event was on key topics around starting a doctoral journey. The doctoral researchers discussed mutual expectations in the supervisory relationship, exchanged experiences with their research proposals, and reflected on their motivations for pursuing a doctorate. Another emphasis was placed on integrating health promotion from the outset and on strengthening mental health during the doctoral phase. The workshop also offered many opportunities for networking within the new group. The first workshop day concluded with a shared dinner.

The introductory event is designed to support the doctoral researchers in starting their doctorate in a conscious and well-prepared manner and in building connections across disciplines for their academic journey.
