11:00 - 12:00 Uhr - Vortrag und Diskussion mit Imke Degering, Rechtsreferat
Your doctoral regulations - the recipe for a successful doctorate!
Using the example of questions of supervision and binational doctorates, we will take a clarifying look at the supposed (in)depths of the legal regulations. In this way, you will take with you a closeness to and confidence in your personal doctoral recipe, which will guide you chronologically through your doctoral project and show you your obligations, but also your rights.

"It takes two to tango: building a constructive student-supervisor relationship".
12:00 - 13:30 Uhr - Keynote mit Prof. Dr. Liezel Frick, Centre for Higher and Adult Education Stellenbosch University, South Africa
"Tango is serious and takes discipline. it must be studied hard to be done well. it is elegant, formal, passionate and intimate. it is about power and vulnerability. it is both dance and metaphor. and to its captives becomes a magnificent obsession" ~ Janny Scott
Dancing the tango is an apt metaphor for doing a PhD. It is a serious business that takes discipline and concerted study to master. The partners - candidates and supervisors - have to master the intricate steps of the dance and improvise according to the music, knowing that each partner brings unique qualities to the partnership. So when we consider what a PhD candidate-supervisor relationship, there is no one-size-fits-all approach that will work for everyone everywhere all of the time. It requires an artful interplay between power and vulnerability in which both candidates and supervisors play an active role in shaping the relationship. In this keynote, I will be focusing on the active role candidates can play to establish and maintain successful relationships with their supervisors, and how their roles change and shift during the PhD.
