How to become a Ph.D. Project Leader

We are thrilled to announce a new program designed to help PhD students successfully manage their projects, themselves, and their environment. This comprehensive course focuses on three key pillars to ensure your success:

• Project Management: Learn how to define your research projects adequately, create feasible and efficient project plans, and continuously use them as guiding instruments throughout your project. You'll also learn to identify and influence all stakeholders from the beginning and adapt your communication and reporting styles to your audience12.
• Self-Management: Develop the skills to prioritize your daily tasks and responsibilities effectively, ensuring that your project plans are put into practice. You'll also learn to handle setbacks resiliently and switch to plan B when necessary34.
• Context Management: Understand how to manage your environment to support your project goals. This includes setting up short-term activity plans, monthly and weekly schedules based on your milestone planning5.

The program consists of four half-day sessions spread over several weeks, allowing participants to apply the insights learned to their ongoing projects. Each session covers essential topics such as project management in research projects, stakeholder management, and integrating all learned lessons into practical project work678910.
