On 3 September 2024, AdONE hosted the workshop Dokt!OR 2024, a satellite event of OR 2024, at the TUM downtown campus.
We were thrilled to welcome over 100 young researchers for an exciting afternoon in the Audimax. The event featured two panel discussions focussing on two key aspects of a PhD journey: How can I successfully publish my research? And what is the best next career step after completing my PhD?
The first panel discussion addressed career paths after a PhD in Operations Research. Four AdONE alumni - Eleni Batziou, Tobias Crönert, Alexander Eckl, and Stefan Waldherr - shared their experiences transitioning from PhD students to professionals in the industry or becoming faculty members.
The second panel discussion dealt with publishing as a PhD student and Postdoc. Five professors and active journal editors - Prof. Martin Bichler, Prof. Francis de Véricourt, Prof. Stefan Minner, Prof. Oliver Stein, and Prof. Guido Voigt - offered insights into the editorial processes and pointed to strategies to publish successfully while also highlighting common pitfalls to avoid.
Participants gained valuable takeaways and had the chance to ask questions to the panelists and network during the coffee break.
We thank all our guests on stage and the participants of Dokt!OR!
