The seminar day offers space to reflect on relevant values and attitudes and their influence on everyday research (research, documentation, contributions by others and publications). In dialogue, areas of tension within supervision and working in a team will be highlighted and solution strategies worked out. Exercises in small groups, discussion and dialogue are in the foreground.
