Design of Academic Posters (November 11 and 12, 2021 | online)

Written by

 Displaying a poster at an academic conference is an important and effective way for junior researchers to present their work in progress to the international scientific community. As such, the poster presentation is not only a good alternative to a classic conference talk, but also offers an almost ideal opportunity to network with colleagues working in a similar field. Yet, many posters are inadequately designed and/or written and fail to attract visitors. Poster presenters, thus, often miss their chance to connect with their fellow researchers when discussing their posters. 
 In this workshop, we will address this issue and discuss how to best develop an attractive poster and how to display your research in a way that leaves a lasting impression and avoids typical pitfalls. In addition, we will focus on important “dos and don’ts” of poster design.

Any responsible conduct of research should be based on honesty, accuracy, efficiency, and objectivity. The online-workshop Good Scientific Practice focuses on these scientific standards of international research. It raises awareness of the subject matter by providing doctoral candidates with a set of professional values and ethical norms as well as required competencies and skills to pursue scientific integrity. The content of the course follows the curriculum “Safeguarding Good Scientific Practice” (Memorandum and Code of Conduct) of the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG).

Open (Omics) Data in the life-sciences (October 13, 2021)

Written by

Webinar description

There is plenty of Research Data in Biological and Chemical Research,
but sometimes it is not published or trapped in bad supplemental data.
If instead data is open and public, it can be re-used to generate
further insights or to develop and validate bioinformatics approaches.
While generic research data repositories exist, it is really the Open
Data in discipline-specific Repositories and Databases that maximises
the re-usability.
Finally, making data FAIR and Open should not be an afterthought,
instead generating good and FAIR data should be baked right into the
standard operating procedures in the lab.

Please ask specific questions via Etherpad form before the webinar. These will be answered during the webinar.

Date, time and format

  • Date and time: October 13, 2021 from 1-2 pm
  • Please join the webinar via MLUconf

“The Art of English Academic Writing” for Natural Scientists (September 8, 9 and 28, 2021)

Written by

Aim and Content

The workshop aims at improving non-native English speakers’ academic writing skills by highlighting typical features and composing elements commonly applied and expected by native speakers of English. 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. During the workshop we will

  • reflect on how the character of the English language influences the Anglo-Saxon academic writing style and identify subsequent features in academic texts
  • highlight pitfalls non-native speakers of English are vulnerable to when writing in English and introduce straightforward strategies to avoid them
  • present techniques for developing a fluent and lively academic writing style
  • introduce resources, aids, and methods to enlarge and retain vocabulary
  • edit text passages written by the participants
