Doctoral Retreat 2022 at Lake Constance

This year’s Doctoral Retreat was held from June 30th to July 1st, 2022, at a attractive villa nearby Lake Constance. It was an great opportunity to convey collectively the folks from Konstanz and Stuttgart.

Regretably, a several individuals could not make it to the retreat simply because of some scenarios of COVID-19. We hope the pandemic will conclusion before long, and every thing can eventually return to typical.

On the to start with day, Frederik Dennig welcomed all participants to the doctoral retreat on behalf of the host. Then, every single doctoral researcher offered the task report for funding period two and plans for funding interval 3 sequentially. We experienced more than enough time to focus on feasible concepts for collaboration. All round, we benefited significantly from the fascinating shows and informative Q&A sections. In the course of the dinner at Villa Prym, discussions continued in a considerably less formal location.

In the evening, we had delicious catering at Villa Prym and loved the breeze and check out of Lake Constance. It suddenly rained greatly at night time, and we ended up lucky that we had now arrived at our accommodation.

For the next day, we experienced invited Matthias Merkelbach as our coach for the subject matter of job planning. Since he was also affected by COVID-19, the workshop was structured in a hybrid type. Two other PhD pupils also attended pretty much. The hybrid workshop ran easily we realized a lot—such as how to get ready our private profiles—and ended up offered with some useful insights about the problem in educational and non-tutorial fields of German-talking nations.

The two-day event finished with a boat vacation to the port of Constance, where we savored a experience with the Möwe, a little passenger ship for a round trip. The scenes are beautiful even although it was a bit cloudy. We also found a Zeppelin was traveling in the sky! We are currently hunting ahead to the future SFB-TRR 161 occasion.
