FÖP Workshop

The public presentation (FÖP) of your dissertation project is an important step towards your doctoral degree. You are expected to present your dissertation project for approval to the Doctoral Advisory Board no later than one year after admission. You should also not miss this opportunity to get important feedback. This workshop will support you to prepare for the FÖP. You will learn about the basics of the FÖP and get tips and tricks to write and present your proposal to the DSPL and members of the Doctoral Advisory Board. In addition, you will work on your proposal with mentors and peers and simulate the FÖP in a mock FÖP. You train to answer tricky questions, improve your communication skills and reduce stress before the actual FÖP. The workshop is a combination of knowledge transfer, tips and training from and with experts.
