There are free slots at this workshop organised by research training group “BEAM (RTG 2670): Self-Organization of Soft Matter via Multiple Noncovalent Interactions”.
As a scientist, we often work in a cross-cultural setting. Our research groups are international, we collaborate around the globe, and most of us will spend part, -or even all- of our career abroad. We can and should feel privileged to work in such a diverse and intercultural work environment. But these cultural and -of course- also individual differences can lead to all manners of misunderstandings. These misunderstandings can lead to a broad variety of undesired consequences, such as failed collaborations, frustrations, feelings of hurt, anxiety and anger, culture shock and missed opportunities for knowledge transfer.
Cultural awareness is the first step in sidestepping these undesired consequences. During this course you will improve your cross-cultural understanding, so you can tap into the full potential of your intercultural teams.
Research Academy Leipzig has released the third episode “Wie wir mit Kind promovieren” of its podcast “Wir wir promovieren” (“How we do our doctorate”). Two doctoral researchers from Leipzig University talk about their experiences on a topic relevant to their doctorate. Until now, all episodes are in German. However, non-German-speakers are very much encouraged to participate.
The deans of the faculties and Rector Prof. Dr. Christian Tietje will present the doctoral certificates to doctoral graduates on April 29, 2022. The university awards will be presented by Prof. Dr. Wolfgang Paul.
The ceremony will take place from 3-5pm in the Löwengebäude.
This is an event organised by the Graduate Academy of Leibniz University Hannover (LUH). The event will be held in German.
Together with the guests Dr. Jannika Lauth (Institute of Physical Chemistry and Electrochemistry) and Dr. Jens Langejürgen (Fraunhofer Institute for Manufacturing Engineering and Automation), the participants will talk about strategies for a successful return after a stay abroad as a postdoc. The guests will report on their everyday research life abroad and how they found their way back into the German research sector. Let’s inspire you! You will find registration options and further information on the website:
From May 9 to 16, 2022, doctoral representatives will be elected in the individual faculties for the first time. These elections will take place together with the university elections as an internet-based online election. The term of office of the members is two years, which means that the next (= second) elections of the doctoral representatives will take place in 2024.
Here you find the doctoral student’s profile of Chris Körner. He published results of his doctoral studies at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and shared the research more widely with a press release.
The main objective of this workshop is to strengthen one’s own attitude towards project management in order to be prepared for the challenges in everyday academic life and outside the university.
