There may be several reasons for this:

• Your account must first be verified and this may take some time.
  What to do: Please check your emails, you will receive a notification as soon as your account has been finally confirmed and bookings are possible.
• You do not have the status “PhD” in your OpenCampus account.
  What to do: Write an email to hgs-workshops@hu-berlin.de, explain your situation and let us know that you would like to book the event.
• You are not a member of FU, HU, TU, or Charité (Berlin University Alliance), but you cooperate with one of them in your doctorate.
  What to do: Write an email to hgs-workshops@hu-berlin.de, explain your situation and let us know that you would like to book the event.

You can participate if you can prove that you are already pursuing a doctorate at a university or institute of the Berlin University Alliance. Register with your official university email address and make sure to provide the name and address of your institute. If you do not have an official email address yet, please contact us after registration to provide an individual proof. This can be a letter from the doctoral office to confirm you have submitted your application for admission, or a confirmation letter from your supervisor.

You can only register for the English-language event or for the German-language event, but not for both. The program of both events is identical, only the language will differ.

Once you are registered, we expect you to participate in the entire retreat program. Exceptions may be possible if you arrive no more than two hours later or leave no more than two hours earlier. In that case, please contact the organizers in advance.

The registration confirmation will be sent automatically. Please check your spam folder. If you do not find the registration confirmation there either, please contact us. Do not fill out the registration form more than once.

No, you are only allowed to participate once. If participants show up who have already participated in one of our Kick-Off events, we reserve the right to send them home and charge them proportionally for the hotel cost.
