Date: Sunday, July 27, 2008
Time: 13:00—17:00
Location: Marco Polo
Registration: The colloquium is included in the registration for PICMET
Through guest lectures and a workshop, we will share experiences in the following areas:
- The Ph.D. process and career paths in different countries
- Critical stages in the Ph.D. process and how to successfully
master them
- Coping with possible personal problems while pursuing a Ph.D.
(lack of time or motivation, problems with advisers, insufficient
time for family and friends, etc.)
- What’s next - academia or industry?
- Entering the academic job market as future junior faculty
- Landing your first industry job
Guest lectures will provide a starting point for workshop discussions. Workshops will tackle topics the participants are most interested in. They provide a unique opportunity to meet colleagues, share experiences and ideas, and network with students and faculty from different countries and university systems.
We encourage students in all stages of the Ph.D. process, as well as recent graduates, to join us.
