Joint lunch break among like-minded people (online)

General Information:

    Target group: PhD students and Postdocs Language: German and English Duration: 1 hour Rhythm: daily Place: GatherTown Number of participants: unlimited

Important:

Especially because of the ongoing Corona pandemic and its impact on our social life, regular exchange among PhD students is very important to us!

 

Daily 12.00-13.00

 

Corona protections have meant that it has become increasingly difficult to nearly impossible to meet with peers and share ideas about the challenges and impacts of the pandemic in and on the PhD process. We quickly felt left alone and overwhelmed by a wide variety of difficulties, such as missing archive and conference travel, last-minute resignations, unexpected care for children at home, or piling up work orders and mountains of email, etc., making it easy to simply shove the dissertation into the next corner and let it rest for now until the spook is over. The bad conscience remains and grows daily. It doesn't have to become that way and certainly doesn't have to stay that way! Together we motivate ourselves to stay on the ball every day, because as we all know, a sorrow shared is a sorrow halved.

For these reasons, philGRAD would like to give you the opportunity to meet and exchange ideas during a joint lunch break. You will regularly receive an invitation to GatherTown via the newsletter with the relevant access data. You are also welcome to sign up via email. Bring your issues and concerns as a basis for discussion. It helps to have a headset or headphones ready for uninterrupted connection! The lunch break will be held in the break room on GatherTown.

We see the joint lunch break as an uncomplicated and open forum that thrives on you staying among yourselves, seeing each other, hearing each other, getting involved, and sharing your concerns - regardless of location!
