- Successful Networking for Personal Branding (March 11, 2025)
As a scientist, your reputation is your personal brand. Youre going to have one whether you choose to influence it in a particular direction or not. How others perceive you stems largely in part from your research results, your behaviors, and your overall actions. Just as in the business world, your personal brand is what defines how successful you can become, and its vital that you spend a portion of your resources to cultivate and protect it. In this workshop we will explore networking as an important aspect of those efforts.

[yDiv] iDiv Summer School 2025 (August 25-29, 2025)
You can register to the iDiv Summer School 2024 “Deep learning for biodiversity and ecological research”, 25 to 29 August 2025, in Leipzig, Germany! This year’s iDiv Summer School is led by Patrick Mäder and Jana Wäldchen. Further teachers are Michael Rzanny and Ladisalv Hodac.
The 2025 iDiv summer school will provide participants with a hands-on experience in applying latest deep learning and computer vision techniques to ecological and biodiversity studies. The participants will be introduced to the theoretical foundations of deep learning and its applications in ecological research. In addition, hands-on sessions will allow participants to deepen their understanding by working with real-world examples. These practical exercises will focus on using deep learning libraries, as well as building, training, and evaluating deep learning models for ecological tasks.
The summer school is aimed at MSc students and doctoral researchers. Participants from regions often underrepresented in science can apply for funding.

English Academic Writing: The Ground Rules of Writing Well (April 10, 11 and 14, 2025)
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.

Clear at glance – Designing Effective Academic Posters (April 03, 2025)
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.

Das erste Schreibretreat für die Promovierenden der MLU (21-22.03.2025)
Was ist eine der wichtigsten Herausforderungen von Promovierenden? Ganz klar, das Schreiben der Arbeit.
An der MLU Halle-Wittenberg schreiben von den ca. 2000 Promovierenden nicht wenige an Ihrer Arbeit und stehen vor ähnlichen Problemen, bei denen wir uns untereinander austauschen und unterstützen sollten. Das hat uns inspiriert, als Promovierendenvertretung das erste Mal und testweise ein im März (21/ 22.3.2025) stattfindendes, sogenanntes Schreib-Retreat zu konzipieren auf dem wir für Euch zwei Angebote kombinieren möchten. 1. Das kopräsente Arbeiten (Co-Working) und Austesten von Schreibstrategien und 2. zwei kostenlose Workshops zu Themen des wissenschaftlichen Schreibens und der Stressbewältigung bzw. dem Umgang mit Scheitern während der Promotion an jeweils einem der zwei Tage.

Introduction to Statistics and R (March 18 – 21, 2025)
Content
R has become a leading statistical programming language in data science and statistics. The R software is free, highly extensible, and allows to easily produce publication-quality plots. The aim of this course is to equip participants with the basic skills to effectively use the software R, embedded in the user interface RStudio. These skills will cover data import, processing and data exploration, graphical representations with ggplot2, basic concepts of statistical inference and linear regression. All topics will be demonstrated in working examples and practiced with hands on examples.
In the first two days we are going to teach the basic functionality of R, RStudio, and ggplot2. Day three and four are dedicated to the application of statistical tests, which will be extended to linear mixed-effects models.
