“Do I have a plan for how to achieve my PhD? How do I define priorities and draw up a schedule? What is required for the process of writing?” A PhD project lasting a number of years will raise many questions requiring individual and tailor-made solutions.
This workshop will help you develop your individual strategy ensuring that your planning will both be effective and efficient in achieving your goal. You will not only learn more about self-management methods, but will also identify and explore external resources such as dealing with the expectations of others and receiving active support from your supervisors.

The KIT Graduate School Computational and Data Science (KCDS) at KIT Center MathSEE is excited to invite you to the upcoming KCDS Talk, part of our monthly series covering a broad spectrum of topics from fundamental concepts to current trends in computational and data science.
In November, we are pleased to welcome two distinguished speakers:
Dr. Michael Poznic (Philosophy of Engineering, Technology Assessment & Science, KIT ITAS)
Dr. Nadia Burkart (Applied Explainable AI, Fraunhofer IOSB)
Under the heading "Explainable AI: How Is It Made, and What's at Stake?" the two individual talks will delve into the development and application of explainable AI (XAI) technologies from different perspectives. As AI becomes more integrated into critical sectors like healthcare, finance, and public services, ensuring that AI decisions are understandable to humans has become a growing priority. This session will explore the philosophical and practical dimensions of XAI, shedding light on the ethical, technical, and societal implications of developing transparent and accountable AI systems.
Following the two talks, there will be a discussion with the speakers, offering attendees the opportunity to ask questions and engage in conversation about the topic. The session will be hosted by Lilly Osburg.
Snacks and Drinks & Networking Opportunity: After the event, there will be food provided, offering an excellent opportunity to network with the speakers and other attendees. Make the most of this chance to connect and discuss ideas with fellow researchers and professionals.
Whether you're a master’s student, a doctoral researcher, a senior academic, or simply curious about the field of AI and its impact, this event promises to offer valuable insights.
Join us in person or via Zoom – the event is free and open to all without prior registration.

Publications of research results is the currency in modern science. It might not be your favourite occupation, but it is a decisive one, strongly determining your future research and career opportunities. In this course, you will be introduced to the process of writing a scientific paper. In order to deepen and apply this knowledge, you will also actually produce a manuscript based on your research data (and one that might serve as the foundation for a journal submission). Questions about other forms of text like conference papers can also be discussed.
A-Z of scientific writing
Developing a clear main message
Priority setting in the writing process
Structure and logical flow of the text
Create meaningful graphics
Memorable introduction and abstract
How to develop a daily writing routine
Efficient communication with co-authors
Plus: Writing with AI tools
Please note: Given that this is a hands-on online-workshop, you need some (analysed) data that can serve as the foundation for a journal article. Please also bring some scientific texts written by you (e.g. Bachelor or Master thesis, as well as any published or upcoming papers) to the workshop.
