Doctoral students have to attend the following seminars twice (i.e. each doctoral student must attend 6 seminars in total). At the beginning of the lecture, the seminar type will be selected for each student based on the current progress in the dissertation. This determines the goals, content, and methods, as outlined in the following:

Research Conception Seminar: In these seminars, PhD students should be optimally prepared for computer science research in their chosen research field and be enabled to formulate a strong research proposal. This should be worked out together with the supervisors. For example, teaching activities like the following should take place: Workshops on research proposal preparation; preparation, presentations and discussion of literature and/or tools in a research area; overview of research methods.

Research Foundations Seminar: In these seminars, doctoral students should work on research foundations in their chosen research field together with their supervisors. For example, teaching activities such as the following should take place: Research Methods Seminar; Systematic Literature Studies; Prototyping Workshop; (Open Source) Software Study; Writers Workshop.

Advanced Topics Research Seminar: In these seminars, doctoral students will deepen the research basics by means of research subject-specific advanced topics together with their supervisors. For example, teaching activities like the following should take place: Advanced Systematic Literature Studies; Advanced Prototyping Workshop; Advanced (Open Source) Software Study; Advanced Writers Workshop; In-depth discussions and workshops on in-progress papers/dissertation write-ups.

At the beginning of the course a structure for peer feedback and feedback by (at least 3) supervisors to students will also be determined. That is, the organizational structure of the course will be determined. For example, if the course is held in blocked form, peer and supervisor feedback can be given in onsite workshops. For example, if the course is organized as a brown-bag seminar over the semester, supervisor feedback might be given after regular talks, whereas peer feedback is provided individually organized meetings.
