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.

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:
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.

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.

Poster sessions are an integral part of almost every scientific conference. Their purpose is to highlight research results, visualize them, and stimulate discussion. To draw your audience in, you need a crystal-clear message,
a text format optimized for best legibility and well-chosen graphics. And above all, you need to think well through how to organize, arrange and illustrate your research content for a printed or digital poster format.
Basic rules of graphic design and layout technique will help you to present your work in a visually well-structured and compelling way. The training shows you how to present your research efficiently and provides time to put directly into practice what you have learned.
