Support in case of conflicts

Every doctoral thesis has ups and downs - that's perfectly normal and many conflicts can already be resolved with a little distance and a clarifying conversation. However, if conflicts do arise in the course of your work that make you feel like you need support, you should know that you are not alone.
In many cases, just the advice of your TAC members can be very helpful. If possible, seek a confidential conversation with one of your TAC members. Often, they can be helpful to you, especially in scientific conflicts.
However, although supervisors, group leaders, and coordinators are usually the first points of contact for information and advice, certain situations may require you to turn to people outside your own group or department. In the case of family concerns, personal crises in your professional life, crises in professional development, discrimination, sexual harassment or scientific misconduct, it is good to have the following contacts at hand.

The graduate center offers a good overview on many resources surrounding a dissertation, including researching, research data management, writing, publishing and good scientific practice: https://www.graduatecenter.uni-muenchen.de/promotion/dissertation/index.html#publizieren.

WeCare@LMU

Current health protection measures are associated with profound changes in everyday life and social interactions, which present a particular challenge for our mental health and well-being. In order to offer support and help in the current situation, we launch the "WeCare@LMU" initiative, which will take place until the end of the semester.
