Methodenwoche of the GGG

GGG's Week of Methods

The Week of Methods was an annual program encompassing all faculties and aims to encourage interdisciplinary discussions on methodology.
The Week of Methods allowed you as PhD students to avail yourselves of methodological stimuli and solutions in related disciplines while developing your dissertation projects. You had the opportunity to select methodological approaches particularly suitable for your research question. Thus, the traditional disciplinary exclusivity of methods was left aside and PhD candidates were provided with new and larger opportunities for their projects.



The Week of Methods' goals:

  • to teach scientific methods to PhD students with respect to their own discipline as well as related disciplines,
  • to help the PhD students become more flexible in applying methods
  • to enhance the methodological knowhow of participants in their particular disciplines
  • to encourage interdisciplinary networking among PhD students
