Das Doktorandenkolleg „Ethik und gute Unternehmensführung“ organisiert vom 4.-6. März eine Frühjahrsakademie in Wittenberg.
Kurzbeschreibung
Du hast Lust mit Expert*innen zu erkunden, welche Auswirkungen die Digitalisierung auf Werte wie Menschenwürde, Solidarität und Gerechtigkeit hat und wie diese verwirklicht werden können? Du interessierst dich dafür, wie führende Unternehmen diese Fragen angehen, wie z.B. Mercedes-Benz diese Werte in der Unternehmenspraxis umsetzt?
Dann bewirb dich jetzt auf einen der 20 Plätze der Frühjahrsakademie 2024 am Wittenberg-Zentrum für Globale Ethik (WZGE)!
Die Frühjahrsakademie bietet Plattform für Student*innen und Doktorand*innen, um neue Perspektiven auf das Thema „Digitalisierung, Ethik und Wirtschaft“ zu gewinnen.

Congratulations! The German Research Foundation (DFG) is once again funding two Research Training Groups (RTGs) at MLU with around four million euros each. This will enable the successful training of doctoral students in the fields of plant research and protein research to be continued and expanded.
The Research Training Group “Communication and Dynamics of Plant Cell Compartments (GRK 2498)” is investigating the question of how plants produce their special ingredients and valuable substances.
The Research Training Group “Intrinsically Disordered Proteins – Molecular Principles, Cellular Functions, and Diseases (GRK 2467)” is investigating a special class of proteins that is also responsible for many serious diseases.

There are free slots at one of the workshops of MLU’s research training groups RTG 2498 “Communication and Dynamics of Plant Cell Compartments”.
Title: “Next Level Science Communication”
Date: November 8 – 10, 2023
Time: 9:00 am to 4:30 pm (8 & 9 Nov); 9:00 am to 2:00 pm (10 Nov)
Location: online
Trainer: PD Dr. Daniel Mertens
In science, information is key. For a scientist it is therefore vital to get information across. Key elements of successful transmission of information are structure, focusing on important detail only, developing a storyline and a central message. The workshop “Next Level Science Communication” covers some of what we think are essential elements to successfully communicate scientific information through presentations, posters and text in the form of theses, manuscripts, reports and grant and fellowship applications.
The workshop designed to raise awareness and reveal the challenges and opportunities of improving the transmission of ideas and information in a clear, concise and engaging manner. Further, we believe that the same fundamental rules need to be applied to verbal, visual and written communication. We therefore cover in this workshop the skillful verbal and nonverbal communication.

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.
There are free slots at one of the workshops of MLU’s research training groups RTG 2498 “Communication and Dynamics of Plant Cell Compartments”.
Title: “Boosting Day-to-Day Resilience at Work”
Date: June 12 & 28, 2023
Time: 2:00 pm to 6:30 pm
Location: Room 2.05, Charles Tanford Protein Centre (CTP), Kurt-Mothes-Straße 3a
Trainer: Betty Boden Training & Consulting
Resilience in the workplace is the ability to cope with the demands and challenges of your day-to-day tasks, projects, and interaction with the people you work with. Building resilience will strengthen mental health and help balance career and family life.

The Plant Science Student Conference (PSSC) will take place from July 3rd to July 4th 2023 at the Leibniz Institute for Plant Genetics and Crop Plant Research (IPK) in Gatersleben, Saxony-Anhalt.
The conference will comprise two days full of fascinating talks, workshops and social activities. The scientific program will be enriched by the participation of keynote speakers, who will not only introduce you into various fields of scientific research but also into science communication and some basic social skills, we all need for our scientific work.
In addition to PhD students from the IPK Gatersleben and the IPB Halle, PhD students from the CEPLAS program and (after April 3rd) all throughout Germany are invited to take part in the conference. As this is a PhD student conference, first year students who do not yet have final results are also invited to present their topic and introduce into the planned approaches of their research. Other PhD students may have valuable suggestions for you!
After a successful first period, the International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) at the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics has been positively evaluated and extended for another six years. The IMPRS for Science and Technology of Nano-Systems (IMPRS-STNS) supports up to 35 Ph.D. students in the field of novel atomically engineered materials for nano-systems.
IMPRS-STNS exploits the successful research network between the Max Planck Institute of Microstructure Physics, the Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and the Fraunhofer Institute for Microstructure of Materials and Systems IMWS, Halle,

You can register to the iDiv Summer School 2023 “Integrating ecological and economic theory for modeling biodiversity change”, 4 to 8 September 2023, in Leipzig, Germany! This iDiv Summer School is led by Ulrich Brose and Martin Quaas.
During the five summer school days, participants will learn strategies to run models of complex ecological networks and economic models of how people behave in resource harvesting.
The summer school is aimed at early career scientists (3rd year doctoral researchers & early postdocs) from around the world with an overall interest in ecological and economic modelling. Participants from regions often underrepresented in science can apply for funding.
