Coaching

The Potsdam Graduate School can grant its members - PhD candidates and Postdocs & Juniorprofs of the University of Potsdam - subsidies to individual coaching. Coaching is an innovative form of personal development. It supports the reflexion of your career plans as well as important decisions regarding further career steps or reorientations. In addition, coaching can be both process-oriented and targeted. There is no application deadline. You can apply for coaching at any time within the available financial means.

Please note: The provisional budget management has a significant impact on the funding opportunities of the PoGS. As our funding offers are financed by budgetary funds, all activities must be checked for necessity before funding is granted. We are not allowed to approve any funding without prior authorisation from Department 4 (Finance and Procurement). You must therefore obtain the approval of Department 4 for your activity or measure in the form of a check sheet before applying for funding from PoGS. This applies to all PoGS funding opportunities. The check sheets must be submitted via Form.UP. Further information can be found on the intranet of the University of Potsdam (in German).
