[yDiv] iDiv Summer School 2025 (August 25-29, 2025)

Written by

You can register to the iDiv Summer School 2024 “Deep learning for biodiversity and ecological research”, 25 to 29 August 2025, in Leipzig, Germany! This year’s iDiv Summer School is led by Patrick Mäder and Jana Wäldchen. Further teachers are Michael Rzanny and Ladisalv Hodac.

The 2025 iDiv summer school will provide participants with a hands-on experience in applying latest deep learning and computer vision techniques to ecological and biodiversity studies. The participants will be introduced to the theoretical foundations of deep learning and its applications in ecological research. In addition, hands-on sessions will allow participants to deepen their understanding by working with real-world examples. These practical exercises will focus on using deep learning libraries, as well as building, training, and evaluating deep learning models for ecological tasks.

The summer school is aimed at MSc students and doctoral researchers. Participants from regions often underrepresented in science can apply for funding.

For more information and the link for application, please visit https://www.idiv.de/events/summerschool2025/.

Deadline for applications is 28 February 2025.

[IAMO GS] Scientific Writing: How to successfully structure and write scientific papers (January 29 – 30 and Feb 12, 2025)

Written by

There are free slots in a workshop organised by the IAMO Graduate School.

  • 29 – 30 January 2025 ( full day, 09.00- 17.00 IAMO, CR 1) and 12 February 2025 (half day, online)
  • Trainer: Dr. Kimberly Crow

The workshop has three goals: 

  1. Insights into how to effectively structure scientific papers and practical advice on how to develop convincing narratives for scientific publications;
  2. Input, especially aiming at non-native English speakers, on how to improve academic writing skills by highlighting typical features and composing elements commonly applied and expected by native speakers of English; 
  3. Interactive editing and feedback session, including a 1:1 mentoring session by the trainer for each participant.

The interactive training is especially recommended for doctoral researchers in the early stages of their doctorate, but it is also a motivating and beneficial refresher for more advanced doctoral researchers 😊. More info is available here. If you would like to sign up, please email  .

This IGS course particularly emphasizes writing and formulation skills for non-native English speakers.

[BEAM] BEAM conference (March 19-21, 2025)

Written by

The interdisciplinary research training group 2670 BEAM hosts its first conference from March 19. – 21., 2025 in Halle (Saale).

BEAM ist interested in researching molecular self-organization through non-covalent interactions going  Beyond Amphiphilicity.  BEAM aims to understand how dynamics and multiple noncovalent interaction patterns determine and affect transition processes of polyphilic molecules and materials. 

BEAM is a consortium consisting of researchers from the fields of chemistry, biochemistry, physics, and mathematics. 

We explicitly encourage early career researchers to attend. We still have a few free slots for external contributed/invited talks of 15/30min or a poster presentation with an included 2min flash talk. 

There is no conference fee.

Register today:

[BEAM] Experiences, careers, highs and lows of female scientists

Written by

Over the past few months, we have been working on an “equality opportunities” booklet to inspire young girls and women to study in the STEM field. To this end, our female doctoral students, student talents and principal investigators have reported on their experiences, their careers, their highs and their lows.

Take a look at their contributions or download the whole booklet via the following link:

“Equal Opportunities” Booklet

The booklet has been published by the research training group “BEAM (RTG 2670): Self-Organization of Soft Matter via Multiple Noncovalent Interactions”.

[PlantBioChem] Introduction to Sirius (September 12, 2024)

Written by

There are free slots for the following Doctoral Training Course (DoCou) organised by Leibniz Research School PlantBioChem at Leibniz Institute of Plant Biochemistry (IPB) Halle.

Contents

Compound annotation is a bottleneck in metabolomics research, especially when we work with non-model organisms. In addition, the annotation process is very difficult for researchers with little experience in analytical chemistry, especially if the compound is not found in any spectral library. Sirius includes a bundle of annotation tools that can help increase the annotation rate of metabolomic datasets, but like any computational tool, it should be used with care.

In this course you will get an introduction to Sirius:
