The MIN Graduate Center (MINGZ) is excited to invite the new (and not-so-new) doctoral researchers to a Welcome Night. You will be able to get to know the MINGZ, meet your fellow doctoral candidates, and grab a beer. We will provide information on:

• How to optimize the journey towards your doctoral degree; 
• How to cope with stress, planning your career and more! 

Dina Gericke from the HR department of the UHH will host a session on: Should I Stay or Should I Go? Planning Your Career In or Outside Academia!

As doctoral researchers you may find to ask yourself the question: When should I start thinking about my career after my dissertation? And how do I even start thinking about it? We will discuss these questions and you will receive information about services the University offers for you regarding your career development.

Annette Juchems-Brohl and Bettina Niebuhr from the department studies and teaching, UHH will host a session on stress management:

Being a young researcher means facing a variety of challenges, including mental health challenges. In this workshop we take a look at stressors in the life of young researchers and provide some insights on successful stress management. How does stress build up during your doctoral research? What can you do to stay healthy and confident? Find the answers to these and more of your stress-related questions in this workshop.
