‘From chaos to focus’ targets PhD students who want to make their ideas for research after their PhD more tangible and focused on the subject(s) that really make their heart tick. The point of departure for the workshop is the chaos in your head about all the fun subjects you would like to work on after your PhD graduation. Using interactive exercises we will progress from this chaos to your personal storyboard and a tailor made strategic plan that will assist you in advancing to the next stage, writing your personal project proposal. Knowing yourself marks the start of this adventurous process. Being able to incorporate your rough ideas into a project focus is the second step. Knowing whom to turn to for support comes next. Finally, making your future proposal more convincing relates to knowing who is going to judge the project, what these judges (people or organizations) are looking for, and how they arrive at their judgement, i.e., knowing their benchmarks. The workshop teaches you to work with this information and the tools provided.
