1. Willingness to teach a course/workshop
 
Currently we are preparing the doctoral school course offer for 2024. We offer PhD students and postdocs the possibility to teach a course/workshop themselves to their peers. Are you willing or interested in teaching a course/workshop, send in a proposal containing the following elements: summarized content of the course/workshop, target group, learning outcomes, training methods, estimated duration/timing, maximum number of participants and brief explanation why you are capable of teaching this course. Please do so with your supervisor in CC, so we are assured that they are okay with you spending time on this. Of course, it is also allowed to develop a proposal in collaboration with your supervisor or someone else. If you would like to accomplish your teaching plans in 2024, the deadline for submission of the proposal is September 30, 2023.
