Are you writing a PhD? Are you feeling dizzy, confused, disoriented or lonely? Don’t worry. These are quite common symptoms and there is an easy way out of it. Just make a break and join our MAKE IT! DAAD Ideas Workshop. The workshop provides you the opportunity to meet up with other PhD students from different disciplines, to share with them your experiences and ideas, to learn new ways of thinking and getting things done and in doing so to gain new and inspiring perspectives on the problems you are working on. In an experimental, explorative and collaborative work setting you will experience how it feels to work in multi-disciplinar y teams, to inspire others with your thoughts and feelings, to get inspired by the competences and perspectives of your team, to identify common obstacles and problems and to create a new and „out of the box“ solution for them. Take a look beyond the borders of your scientific discipline and discover the potentials of working together with others on the basis of a structured, playful, ideation and creation process. You may not only find new opportunites for using and applying your PhD before and after science. You may also gain new confidence and trust to even finish it. You may improve your social and communicative competences. And who knows: The MAKE IT! Ideas Workshop may even get the starting point of a new, common business idea or a start-up company together with your team.
