Young Entrepreneurs in Science | Workshop in Leipzig
The four-day workshop series combines practical and interactive elements with knowledge of specific tools and methods to expose participants to new perspectives on their own career and development. Participants are encouraged to recognise and draw on their existing skills and potential. This approach aims to increase the chances of success for start-ups emerging from the German research community and thus to enhance the reputation of German universities as a talent incubator for excellent business and start-up ideas.
Next workshops in Leipzig (January 14-15 & 28-29, 2020)

integrated Research Training Group “Ultrafast Spin Dynamics”
Spokesperson: Prof. Dr. Wolf Widdra, coordinator: Dr. Britta Anstötz
funding period 2018-2021 by DFG
The iRTG offers a structured qualification program in scientific and key skills to all PhD students financed and associated to the CRC/TRR. Research focuses on Ultrafast Dynamics of Magnetic Order and Ultrafast Spin Currents. Its training is divided into research training in several laboratories and in different research contexts, as well as an external training program, which offers courses for key skills. The PhD students have many occasions to actively learn about the works of their colleagues in the CRC, to communicate science and to discuss their own scientific results. The scientific exchange is fostered by a set of opportunities, such as training in other than their own labs, tutorials, seminars and a retreat. [read more]
The graduate school is part of the collaborative research center “Ultrafast Spin Dynamics” (SFB/TRR 227) (Spokesman: Prof. Dr. Martin Weinelt (FU Berlin), website

International Research Training Group TreeDì
Spokesperson: Prof. Dr. Helge Bruelheide, coordinator: Dr. Stefan Trogisch
funding since 2018 by DFG and UCAS
Biodiversity-Ecosystem-Functioning (BEF) research in forests has become a vibrant field of research in the last decade. The aim of TreeDì – 林地 (lín dì, forest land) is to understand how tree-tree interactions in local neighbourhoods of varying diversity translate into the observed positive tree species richness effects on key ecosystem functions at the community scale. Tree-tree interactions range from above- and belowground competition to resource use complementarity and facilitation. In-depth knowledge of each interaction type and interdisciplinary teamwork are essential to understand the underlying processes. All research projects are carried out on the BEF-China platform in subtropical China – the largest forest BEF experiment worldwide. [read more]
“TreeDì – 林地 – TreeDiversity Interactions: The role of tree-tree interactions in local neighbourhoods in Chinese subtropical forests” is an International Research Training Group funded by the German Research Foundation (DFG) and the University of Chinese Academy of Sciences (UCAS).

Integrated Research Training Group “Polymers: random coils and beyond”
Spokesman: Prof. Dr. Kay Saalwächter, coordinator: N.N.
funding period 2011-2023 by DFG
The graduate program provides in-depth training in interdisciplinary soft matter research, including the design and preparation of specific materials. A thorough understanding of the basic principles of chemistry, physics and engineering of polymers and soft matter are aims of the research within our graduate school. [read more]
The graduate school is part of the collaborative research center “Polymer under multiple constraints” (SFB/TRR 102) (Spokesman: Prof. Dr. Thomas Thurn-Albrecht, website

Rhetorik kompakt (December 2-3, 2019)
Rhetorische Grundkenntnisse sowie Erfahrungen in Vortragssituationen sind im Berufsalltag – vor allem in Führungspositionen – unabdingbar. Promovierende haben in der Regel im späteren Leben eine leitende Stellung. Ob im Vortrag, im Teammeeting oder in Gesprächen mit den Mitarbeitern – rhetorische Fähigkeiten bringen hier klare Vorteile. Die TeilnehmerInnen werden zunächst mit den Grundlagen der Rhetorik vertraut gemacht. In einem zweiten Schritt erfahren Sie, wie sie auf andere Menschen wirken (Selbst- und Fremdwahrnehmung) und schließlich wie sie sich selbst rasch optimieren können. Ziele des Seminars sind es, im Vortrag auf den Punkt zu kommen, das Publikum zu fesseln, überzeugend zu wirken und nicht zuletzt die “Macht des Wortes” respekt- und verantwortungsvoll einzusetzen.
Es kann direkt am Material / Text der Promotion gearbeitet werden.
