Ph.D. Meet & Share: What Matters

Ph.D. life can be rewarding, but also challenging, overwhelming and, well... sometimes it just sucks.

Let's not only admit it, but focus on the concrete, everyday challenges Ph.D. researchers face. Join the first session of the Ph.D. Meet & Share series, this time focused on priorities and what matters in your Ph.D. life.

What can you expect? We start with a 20-minute introduction to the topic. Then you can join the conversation, share your own experience or offer your perspective. Grab a coffee (or tea, obviously) and some biscuits, meet other PhD researchers and discover new perspectives — all in an informal and friendly atmosphere.

And just to be clear: This is not a therapy session. It's about sharing, networking, elements of group coaching, mutual support and taking a little break.

This session: You Can’t Do Everything. So What Matters?

Ph.D. life comes with plenty of opportunities — and plenty of expectations. But your time and energy are limited. Let's talk about how we choose between competing priorities, what influences our decisions and how to recognise what really deserves our time and energy.

You can't do everything. Let's find out what matters to you.

Come for the topic. Stay for the conversation. And have a biscuit.
