Topics
Starting a PhD in mathematics opens a new chapter in your career, with new challenges and opportunities. In this workshop, researchers on all stages of their career will share their experience and advice with you. Is a PhD the right thing for you? Are your smart enough for a PhD? (Spoiler: YES!) How to pick your PhD topic? How to pick your supervisor? What do you need to know?
Since women are still underrepresented in the mathematical community, the workshop will also specially thematize gender issues in the mathematical community to counteract circulating prejudices and patterns.
The morning session consists of six talks and in the afternoon two open panel discussions are planned, where all the speakers from the morning will address your questions in an open panel discussion.
This workshop is aimed mainly at master and PhD students in mathematics.
