Graphic representations are a great way to communicate complex research topics in an understandable and lively way. They convey clarity and provide a quick overview and are therefore extremely helpful both for the elaboration and the presentation of complex content and ideas. In this seminar you will learn best-practice techniques that you can use on various media such as paper, whiteboards or flipcharts. You will learn how to present complex issues in a structured way while reducing the amount of information to the essentials.
After several short input sessions, you will have enough time to try out the techniques you have learned in individual and group exercises and to develop your own style. We will compare and analyze all graphics together so that you end up with an extensive knowledge about best-practice techniques and examples. The praxis-oriented workshop aims to develop your own creativity while having fun, so active participation is a prerequisite.
In the German academic system, Tenure Track is a relatively new concept. With a tenure track position, one gets the opportunity to immediately transition to a permanent position when successfully completing the probationary period (known as the tenure track phase). The majority of tenure track positions comes along with a professorship; less common and known are lecturer or researcher positions with tenure track.
This workshop addresses junior scholars from the social sciences and the humanities who are currently working on an English-language article for publication or are planning to publish an article in an English-language journal in the future. The goal is to provide an understanding of the general structure and “choreography” of academic publications and hands-on assistance to participants who are writing their own papers.
The workshop will begin by discussing typical problems encountered when writing an academic publication and ways to facilitate the writing process. We will then address the typical organization of academic publications. This will involve having a detailed look at the basic components of an academic paper, what we need to pay attention to in each part, where to place which elements, and what tenses are typically used. Particular attention will be paid to the essential benefits of, and how to think about, developing a clear “storyline” and being clear on your “take-home message.”
The workshop combines Good Scientific Practice (Part 1) with Negotiation (Part 2). During your doctoral studies you will come into contact with other scientists and collaborate with them. Here negotiation skills can be helpful. This may even prevent potential conflicts with your supervisor.
How do I impact others? How do I want to impact others? What is expected of me during presentations? With practical exercises on presence and impact in various presentation situations, you ensure that your presence is authentic and convincing. By doing so, you convey confidence, trust, and agreement to your conversation partners.
Whether small talk or academic subject presentation – the ability to present oneself adequately and to communicate one’s concerns effectively is a deciding factor of career related success in academia.
With a few fundamental strategies for communication and presentation techniques it is possible to illustrate complex data in a context relevant way, to convince others, to win supporters and thus reach the respectively set goals.

The doctoral program “Ethics and Responsible Leadership in Business” offers the following workshops to doctoral students at MLU
MARKETS WITHOUT LIMITS (November 24, 2023 and January 18, 2024) by Prof. Dr. Ingo Pies, MLU
In recent years, prominent academics like Michael Sandel have criticized the tendency of markets to commodify human relations. They argue that some things should not be for sale, and they emphasize what money can’t buy. As a consequence, they call for limiting the extent of the market in modern society. In doing so, they argue from the vantage point of (ancient, Aristotelian) virtue ethics. This has prompted critical reactions, both from economists and philosophers. Recently, Jason Brennan and Peter Jaworski devoted a whole book to repudiating and countering the numerous arguments by virtue ethicists. Their perspective might seem unfamiliar, and hence especially informative and surprising, which makes reading their book an intellectual event – irrespective of whether you agree with them or not. – This course introduces the moral debate and examines the political relevance of the topic:
Should kidneys be for sale? Should we legalize drugs? Should prostitution be prohibited? Should we restrict suicide assistance to not-for-profit organizations? Should we outlaw surrogate motherhood?
PHILOSOPHICAL ETHICS AND LEADERSHIP (January 11 and 12, 2024) by PD Dr. Lisa Schmalzried, MLU
To fill leadership positions adequately is a demanding task, and some managers are not able or willing to take up this challenge. This is a problem. Bad leadership is responsible for many economic, social, and also personal problems. It impairs a company ́s performance and its profits, demotivates and daunts employees, or leads to burn outs and depressions. Good leadership on the other hand stimulates innovations and creativity, fosters constructive problem solving, excites employees for new tasks and promotes their talents. The question what defines good and bad leadership is thus highly relevant.
The interactive workshop aims at improving non-native English speakers’ skills in writing scientific texts in English and to permanently upgrade the linguistic quality of their English writing. Participants will be equipped with a textbook written by the trainer that covers all the features introduced during the sessions, they will have ample opportunity to ask individual questions, and they will receive immediate feedback on their own writing.
