The Event “A” – Calls for EU research funding in Horizon Europe – will kick things off. In addition to an insight into the work of the OVGU Research Funding Advisory Service and the EU University Network, funding opportunities in Horizon Europe will be presented. An overview of the program, the conditions of participation, funding forms and funding rules will be given.
The focus of the mediation is on planning and structure of a funding application as well as partner search, review and writing the abstract.
The 4th transdisciplinary PhD Conference “Third Mission (im)possible?! Options for action for young scientists“ is organised by the University Group “DocColloq“ at Trier University.
Science, society, and politics are deeply intertwined – this close connection has become evident not least during the corona pandemic. Nevertheless, a large number of people are sometimes skeptical or undecided about science, its working methods, financing or social relevance (e.g., Wissenschaftsbarometer 2021). Obviously, research institutions can and must ensure more transparency and openness in this regard, i.e., involve society, present research credibly, and communicate it in an understandable way. These tasks fall within the Third Mission area of activity, the third major task alongside research and teaching.
The hot stove, the forgotten pill: How can modern technologies make life easier for older people at home without overburdening them with technology and without patronizing them? A project of business informatics specialists and multimedia designers is developing new ideas for this.

The workshop aims at improving non-native English speakers’ academic writing skills by highlighting typical features and composing elements commonly applied and expected by native speakers of English. Participants will be equipped with a textbook written by the trainer that covers all the features introduced during the sessions, they will have ample opportunity to ask individual questions, and they will receive immediate feedback on their own writing. During the workshop we will
reflect on how the character of the English language influences the Anglo-Saxon academic writing style and identify subsequent features in academic texts
highlight pitfalls non-native speakers of English are vulnerable to when writing in English and introduce straightforward strategies to avoid them
present techniques for developing a fluent and lively academic writing style
introduce resources, aids, and methods to enlarge and retain vocabulary

What does “Future Workshop KlinGas – Climate Neutral Natural Gas Substitution” mean?
Young scientists from the three regionally networked “coal states” Brandenburg, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt are invited to contribute their expertise to this transdisciplinary discussion process. In order to do so, doctoral students and postdocs from many disciplines, including engineering, material sciences, natural sciences, geosciences, economics as well as social sciences, political sciences, law, computer science, mathematics and journalism are required.
In a structured discussion process, KlinGas focuses primarily on the natural gas sector and deal with the question exemplarily for Germany and Europe:
How can the entire natural gas demand of the German states of Brandenburg, Saxony and Saxony-Anhalt be substituted in a climate-neutral and environmentally friendly way within a very short time (1-2 years)?
What is required for this and what specific steps must be taken to achieve this?
You will get a quick overview about the Walter Benjamin, the Emmy Noether and the Heisenberg Programme, as well as the Individual Research Grant with a temporary position for principal investigators. The lecturer will also provide advice on how to prepare your proposal and what happens once you submit it to the DFG. PhD candidates and postdocs of all disciplines from all countries as well as research support staff are welcome to join.
You have put a lot of time and effort into pursuing your PhD degree. Now it’s time to focus on how to leverage your expertise into a satisfying and productive career. The Individual Development Plan (IDP) concept is commonly used in industry to help employees define and pursue their career goals. In 2003, the Federation of American Societies for Experimental Biology (FASEB) proposed an IDP framework for postdoctoral fellows in the sciences. AAAS/Science joined forces with FASEB and experts from several universities (see authors below) to expand on that framework. The result is myIDP – a unique, web-based career-planning tool tailored to meet the needs of PhD students and postdocs in the sciences.

The newly released website Wissen Schafft Karriere (in German) provides a general overview of career paths in science as well as specific opportunities for a career at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg (MLU).
So what does a career in science at MLU look like? A doctorate is often the beginning of an academic career towards a professorship. And yet, the doctorate opens up many other career opportunities, both at MLU and at many other institutions.
The compatibility of family and career or one’s own health have a significant impact on professional development and career. The website also illustrates this and show support options in working life through MLU.
Last but not least, you will find statutes, regulations and templates for various decisions and guidelines relating to career options and organisation at MLU.
