First Generation Academics: Your Successful Doctoral Journey at TUM
First Generation Academics in the TUM Community have already overcome many challenges and forged their personal path. With our new event format for Master's students and doctoral candidates, we want to further support First Generation Academics by creating a networking opportunity, talking about possible challenges of First Generation Academics during the doctorate, and providing tools to overcome them. The program includes brief insights into topics such as the ‚Leaky Pipeline‘ and ‚Impostor Syndrome‘, practical tips, and an introduction to support services. Additionally, successful First Generation Academics will share their experiences and there will be plenty of time for exchange and networking.
The event will be conducted in both German and English. While passive understanding of German is recommended, contributions to discussions can be shared in English
