Nachwuchsforschende werden mit verschiedenen Herausforderungen konfrontiert, die zu Konflikten führen können, zum Beispiel im Betreuungsverhältnis, innerhalb der Arbeitsgruppe, im Hinblick auf Finanzierungsfragen oder hinsichtlich des selbststrukturierten Arbeitens. Die herausfordernde Phase kann auch persönliche Probleme mit sich bringen. Sollten Sie sich in einer solchen oder ähnlichen Situation befinden, können Sie bei verschiedenen Anlaufstellen am KIT Unterstützung finden. Einen Überblick finden Sie auf unserer Webseite unter www.khys.kit.edu/Anlaufstellen. Unter anderem bietet das Karlsruhe House of Young Scientists (KHYS) in der Regel jeden Donnerstag von 15:00 bis 17:00 Uhr eine offene Sprechstunde zur Beratung in Konfliktfällen an. Dort können Sie in einem geschützten Rahmen Ihre Situation darlegen. In dieser Erstberatung informieren und beraten wir Sie individuell, wie Sie mit herausfordernden Situationen und Konflikten umgehen können und verweisen ggf. an weitere Stellen. Gerne können Sie auch einen individuellen Beratungstermin (auch per MS Teams) vereinbaren. Jutta Klein-Hitpaß steht Ihnen für Fragen oder Terminabsprachen gerne zur Verfügung.   --- ENGLISH --- Junior researchers face different challenges in their research period.
