MLU became a member of the Research, International and Transfer Information Service (FIT) on March 1, 2025. This service will make it even easier for you to receive information about new funding programs, calls for proposals and events related to your scientific field via an e-mail newsletter.
FIT is administered by the University of Kassel and is an e-mail service that provides researchers with targeted and tailored information on research funding. The information is fed from the FIT database, where you have from now on the opportunity to register for a free subscription with your @(domain).uni-halle.de e-mail address and set up an individual user profile. There you can specify the research areas, types of funding and funding institutions such as DFG, BMBF and other federal ministries, EU, DAAD and AvH about which you would like to receive information. On this basis, you will then receive an e-mail on one or more days of the week, which you can select yourself, with the latest funding information that is important for you. You can search for further information in the FIT database at any time.
Im Rahmen einer projektfinanzierten Vortrags- und Workshopreihe für Lehrende und Mitarbeitende der Hochschulen Sachsen-Anhalts werden im Frühjahr 2025 in sechs Online-Veranstaltungen praxisnahe Herausforderungen und Potentiale generativer KI aufgezeigt. Wir schauen uns an, wie KI in Lehre und Prüfungen funktioniert und wie KI curricular verankert werden kann. Darüber hinaus werden wir uns mit der Kommunikation zwischen Lehrenden und ihren Studierenden zu diesem Thema befassen. Diese Online-Reihe ist für alle gedacht, die sich bereits mit grundlegenden Einführungen zur Thematik beschäftigt haben.
From June 2025 the mentoring programme for female postdoctoral researchers, provided by the universities of Halle-Wittenberg, Jena and Leipzig, offers eight places at each university for highly-qualified female postdocs, researchers undertaking a ‘habilitation’, junior scientist group leaders and junior professors, to support them in their development and future careers. The programme aims for female researchers who seek a professorship at a German university and who were awarded their doctorate at least 2 years ago.
application deadline: March 30, 2025 to:

How to write an academic CV
The CV is a complete summary of all of your academic achievements and can be as long as needed. Although it will grow longer as your academic career progresses, you’ll want to make sure that you include accomplishments that are relevant and important. You also want to make sure to address assessment fields that are relevant for applications to a professorship, that the CV is complete and stylistically consistent. However, there are different approaches to do so and finding the way that appeals to you personally is just as important as continuously updating your CV.
During this lunch lecture, we address these issues with the focus on academic CVs for applying for professorships in Germany. There will be a short input and enough time for discussion afterwards.
The CZS STEM Impact School is an advanced training and continuing education program for researchers from the STEM disciplines. The aim of the project is to teach the basic principles of effective, quality-oriented and socially relevant science communication. The CZS STEM Impact School comprises five modules that build on each other and help participants to develop an individual communication and impact plan for their research. In addition, the project offers space for inter- and transdisciplinary networking as well as for reflection and creative exchange among researchers. The CZS STEM Impact School offers six courses a year, two of which take place digitally and four at different locations in Germany.
The teaching materials developed in the project will be made available as Open Educational Resources in the future to enable subsequent use in other contexts.
A total of three 3-day Impact Schools will take place in the first half of 2025:
8.-10.04.2025, Online (German-speaking)
13.-15.05.2025, Erfurt (German-speaking)
23.-25.06.2025, Berlin (English-speaking)
You may now apply for these Impact Schools. The application deadline is February 18. Further dates will be announced in spring 2025.
Focused writing time – community and exchange – feedback and support
The gender*bildet writing week offers academics with gender-related issues the opportunity to devote themselves intensively to a writing project as part of their qualification or research – be it a dissertation or habilitation, an abstract, an article or a research proposal. The centrepiece is the focused writing time together, which not only promotes productivity, but also enables students to be mindful of their own resources. In addition, individual writing coaching offers targeted support for specific challenges and helps to develop customised solutions. Participants are invited to withdraw from everyday life for a week and devote themselves entirely to their research work. They can write undisturbed, exchange ideas and find support in a concentrated environment far away from the university and the world of work.
An intensive week to write on your PhD thesis or research project

New year, new opportunities: my (career) goals for 2025
In this interactive lunch lecture, we will collaboratively work on your New Year’s resolutions: What topics are important to you? How do you want to develop your career? What competencies do you wish to enhance? What goals are you aiming for? You will approach these questions both analytically and through creative methods. Strategic career planning is as crucial as maintaining a humorous and supportive perspective on your own aspirations.
The “Lunch Lectures” are an online mini-series of inputs from Academic Staff Development, which take place monthly from 12:30 to 13:30. Afterwards, the room remains open for further exchange and networking until 14:15. Please register for the individual events.
we would like to thank you for continuing efforts during your research studies at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg in 2024.
Your research results contribute to the good scientific reputation of our university in Germany and world-wide. Please find some examples of research of doctoral students in the doctoral student’s profiles.
We wish you a merry holiday season and all the best for the New Year 2025.

Science communication for researchers
Science communication is becoming an increasingly important task for researchers and one that is linked to growing expectations. In this Lunch Lecture, we will talk about how scientists can fill this area of responsibility with life and how the University Communication Office supports them in doing so.
