CV Tailoring for doctoral students
For most scientists it is easier to present their research than to write about their achievements. In this workshop, Dr. Andreas Trabesinger will present context, tools and perspectives related to 'tailoring' CVs, based on his experience as a writing consultant, science writer and a former editor at Nature Physics. Participants will hear how to transparently describe their scientific achievements, how to deal with 'unusual' career paths and about different 'performance metrics' and their caveats.

Mentoring
The mentoring program helps you:
- To establish contacts with potential employers.
- To gain insights into typical working life.
- To get valuable support from experienced managers and experts.
- To gain a wide range of career opportunities in academia, public services or industry.
- To match your strengths and interests with a job profile.
You will also learn how to present yourself to potential employers, how to establish contacts with interesting network partners, how to prepare meetings well, and how to convey information to the point. You will learn this during the mentor search, the group coaching sessions and the mentor meetings. Best time for the mentoring program is in the half of your PhD.

Try-out coaching
Coaching is a form of consulting that focuses on results and solutions, interactive and tailored to individual needs. In contrast to a mentor, the coach is not in the same profession as you, but he/she is an expert, trained to support you in pursuing your goals and verify your needs.

Master of Time – Time Autonomy and Learning
Time autonomy and productive self-organisation are the basis for academic success. In this workshop you will learn how to define your goals, set the right priorities and make time where you thought there is none. The coordinators of the MPA, Dr. Victoria Durant and Freya Luberg, want to show you how you can improve your time management from scratch and organise your studies so that you have to study less and get better grades at the same time. You will first learn the basics of time management and the most important productivity techniques for students and then focus specifically on physics. The workshop is aimed at the needs of Bachelor's and Master's students.

How to… PhD
The workshop provides information and insights about the recruitment of PhD candidates and shares knowledge about requirements and expectations of PhD students. It is supposed to help you plan your scientific career at an early stage.
You will learn how to start, conduct and finish a PhD successfully. For this, four of our current PhD students and two postdoctoral researchers will share their experiences and knowledge with you in an informal and interactive setting. You are welcome to bring all sorts of doubts and questions about if you should do a PhD, how to get a PhD position, how to do a PhD successfully and what will come afterwards.

Proposal writing for PhDs and postdocs
As early-career researchers venture towards scientific independence, proposal writing becomes an ever more important activity. In this workshop, Dr. Andreas Trabesinger will present context, tools and perspectives related to writing up scientific ideas and to effectively communicating key points to reviewers, based on his experience as a scientific consultant, science writer and a former editor at Nature Physics.

Scientific writing for PhDs and master's students
Writing and publishing is arguably an almost intrinsic part of scientific endeavour. In this workshop, Dr. Andreas Trabesinger will present context, tools and perspectives related to writing up scientific results, based on his experience as a professional manuscript editor at Nature Physics, as a communications consultant and as a science writer. Participants will hear about typical editorial checkpoints, the changing publishing landscape, typical mistakes, how AI might change academic writing — and how an appreciation of these aspects can help to communicate more efficiently with editors, peers and a wider public.

Me and my supervisor
Scienza Science Coaching
In this workshop, we will focus on the importance and the complexity of the doctoral supervisory relationship. We will cover three main aspects, namely (1) active design of the supervisory relationship, (2) navigating hierarchies, and (3) effective communication. You will be introduced to strategies for establishing and maintaining a productive relationship with your supervisor by learning how to navigate the sometimes challenging relationship with your supervisor, address problems professionally, and build positive interactions.
