The aim of this webinar is to address the most important data protection aspects in the context of research and academic projects. In collaboration with colleagues from the legal department of the MLU an overview of the legal framework of the General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) and other basic regulations will be offered. The Open Science Team – ULB will also provide advice on how to anonymize or pseudonymize quantitative and qualitative datasets, and some practical examples on how to write a consent forms for projects in which interview data are planned. Join us in this webinar and take the opportunity to ask any questions you may have on these matters. Please ask specific questions via Etherpad form before the webinar. These will be answered during the webinar.
Whether you are an experienced postdoc or a PhD student going through the first stages of your research project this webinar will help you understand the crucial concepts of research data management (RDM) and identify common problems and hurdles in scientific practice.
What is FAIR data,
what are the current funders’ requirements regarding RDM in Germany and Europe, and
what are the benefits of a good research data management strategy
are some of the topics that will be covered. Whilst Open Science Team – ULB will provide an overview of the RDM activities and support offered at the MLU and other institutions, your views on RDM are very important to us too. So feel free to join the discussion on this day. Please ask specific questions via Etherpad form before the webinar. These will be answered during the webinar.
Join this first webinar to explore the main concepts and learn more about Open Science, Open Data and why this is important. Use this chance to let the Open Science Team – ULB know what are your requirements and the areas where you may need support. We will take time to discuss these topics but also to outline the different levels of support and activities in the research landscape in Halle. Please ask specific questions via Etherpad form before the webinar. These will be answered during the webinar.
Here you find the doctoral student’s profile of Leonardo Negrão. He published results of his doctoral studies at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and shared the research more widely with a press release.
Kelsey Inouye’s, a former PhD student from the University of Oxford, wrote about her job search an article in the Nature Careers Community. Job search gave her panic attacks and dented her self-esteem. But she learnt to take rejection in her stride.
The following evidence-based strategies helped her to manage her post-PhD imposter syndrome:
Here you find the doctoral student’s profile of Julia Osterman. She published results of her doctoral studies at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and shared the research more widely with a press release.
Here you find the doctoral student’s profile of Yeseul Yun. She published results of her doctoral studies at Martin Luther University Halle-Wittenberg and shared the research more widely with a press release.
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
You are invited to register for the UFZ Career Center workshop “Balancing cooperation and competition in science” on 30.09./09.11.2021.
Workshop content: While cooperation is publicly emphasized, the everyday work of scientists’ can also lead to overt or covert competition within a team or organization. Competition between team colleagues is particularly delicate. While cooperation is the ideal this course assumes that competition among scientist is inevitable to a certain extent. Learn how to cope with and even benefit from it. The training is led by Nina Bessing.
