Being a doctoral student means having different roles and responsibilities. Beyond conducting your own independent research, you are simultaneously a student, an employee, a team member, and an educator. Navigating this unique position requires ensuring that every one of these roles is performed in full accordance with ETH’s rules, values, and professional culture. But what do these overlapping responsibilities look like in practice, and how do you manage them successfully? Leave this interactive workshop with concrete strategies to confidently steer your doctorate and foster a collaborative, respectful working environment.
