English Academic Writing: The Ground Rules of Writing Well (May 07, 08 and 11, 2026 | hybrid)
This workshop addresses junior scholars from the social sciences, economics, and the humanities who have good command of the English language, seek to improve their English writing skills, and strive to make their academic papers more idiomatic. The workshop seeks to create an awareness of the typical patterns of non-idiomatic writing to which non-native authors writing in English – and especially German-speaking academics – are prone and equip the participants with strategies to avoid these pitfalls.
The workshop will be held on three days (two days in person; a half day online, during which you will receive individual feedback). It will be conducted in English by two trainers who have a professional background in the social sciences and many years of experience in teaching English academic writing and in translating and editing academic texts by German-speaking scholars.

[AgripolyII] Idea to Impact: Cultivating Initiative and Transfer (May 4-5, 2026)
There are free slots in a seminar organised by the graduate school POLY within AgriPoly II at MLU.
In this seminar, you will explore the following mindset:
- How do new ideas emerge?
- How do we recognize opportunities – and how do we set them in motion?
This workshop is not about starting a business. Rather, it focuses on the entrepreneurial mindset as a way of thinking and acting: creative, proactive, and impact-oriented.
At the same time, the organizers aim to highlight a third path between academia and industry – the space in between, where transfer, collaboration, and societal impact take place. The seminar invites participants to expand their scope for career development and self-direction, to gain a realistic understanding of possible pathways – and perhaps to feel inspired to take a bold step of their own.
Further information and registration at the Poly website.

[JTC] Collaboration for Impact: Working Across Projects, Teams, and Networks (April 17, 2026)
Collaboration is at the heart of turning ideas into impact – especially in regions undergoing transformation.
The seminar focuses on how to move from ideas to joint action. You will explore how entrepreneurial thinking unfolds not only individually, but in teams, networks, and real-world collaborations.
Using practical examples of both successful and failed initiatives, we will reflect on what enables cooperation – and where tensions arise. You will develop your own mission statement as a way to provide direction and inspire others, while gaining hands-on experience in networking and navigating conflicts.
Through a combination of theory, practical exercises, and reflection you will discover how communication, trust, and shared vision become key drivers for creating sustainable impact.
