This workshop addresses junior scholars from the social sciences, economics, and the humanities who have good command of the English language, seek to improve their English writing skills, and strive to make their academic papers more idiomatic. The workshop seeks to create an awareness of the typical patterns of non-idiomatic writing to which non-native authors writing in English – and especially German-speaking academics – are prone and equip the participants with strategies to avoid these pitfalls.
The workshop will be held on three days (two days in person; a half day online, during which you will receive individual feedback). It will be conducted in English by two trainers who have a professional background in the social sciences and many years of experience in teaching English academic writing and in translating and editing academic texts by German-speaking scholars.

Starting Point
Poster sessions are an integral part of almost every scientific conference. Their purpose is to highlight research results, visualize them, and stimulate discussion. To draw your audience in, you need a crystal-clear message,
a text format optimized for best legibility and well-chosen graphics. And above all, you need to think well through how to organize, arrange and illustrate your research content for a printed or digital poster format.
Basic rules of graphic design and layout technique will help you to present your work in a visually well-structured and compelling way. The training shows you how to present your research efficiently and provides time to put directly into practice what you have learned.

There are free slots in the following workshop organised by yDiv the graduate school of the German Centre for Integrative Biodiversity Research (iDiv) Halle-Jena-Leipzig.
When everything feels like an opportunity, a priority, or an obligation, how do we say no? The truth is we cannot start saying no until we get clear on why we keep saying yes to everything.
In the webinar “The power of saying no” with lecturer Desiree Dickerson on 17 February, 10:30 am – 12:00 pm, you will explore:
- why we tend to say yes (people-pleasing, scarcity and uncertainty, perceived opportunities, regret minimisation, emotion, obligation, the path of least resistance)
- the impacts of saying yes to everything: time poverty, exhaustion, loss of self and loss of joy for what we do
- why we need to start saying no
- how to start saying no (clear boundaries and priorities, with confidence and without guilt)
You can register here by 13 February. You are welcome to forward this link to interested colleagues.
The webinar takes places within the yDiv event series ‘mental well-being in academia’.
