Quality Assurance in Medical Doctorates (new UniWiND publication)
The recent UniWiND publication Volume 11 presents the results of the UniWiND working group “Quality Assurance in Medical Doctorates”, which worked from 2018-2020. The working group has devoted itself to the special features of doctoral studies in medicine, which, in contrast to doctorates in other subjects, are usually carried out during studies and for this reason are often the subject of criticism. Quality assurance plays an even more important role.
In order to investigate the framework conditions and existing measures for quality assurance, the workgroup conducted a survey, which was answered by the majority of medical faculties in Germany. The result of the evaluation of this survey as well as science policy publications is this volume, in which the AG formulates recommendations for each phase in the doctoral process and presents Promising Practices.

VG Wort – aus Text wird Geld (09. Dezember 2020| online)
Das Internet bildet für wissenschaftliche Texte eine große Reichweite. Wie verhält es sich mit dem Urheberrecht im Internet? Gibt es eine Vergütung für urheberrechtlich geschützte Texte im Internet?
Das Webinar bietet eine kurze Einführung in die Thematik an. Die Dozentin, Frau Wagner, stellt den zugehörigen Aufgabenbereich METIS (Meldesystem für Texte auf Internetseiten) der VG Wort vor. Weiterführend werden die Schritte, um an den Ausschüttungen der Verwertungsgesellschaft Wort (VG Wort) zu partizipieren, erläutert.

Theory and Design of Scientific Posters (December 08, 2020| online)
Content
The workshop covers different aspects of scientific posters as increasingly popular form of presentation in various scientific disciplines. As an introduction, the poster as communication medium is described, with special attention to the differences among the disciplines. Several case studies and settings will be presented and discussed. The participants of the workshop are therefore explicitly invited to contribute their own work and material to this discussion. The second part focuses on how to create effective and attractive posters. Starting from the essential technical knowledge of poster ingredients such as pixel vs. vector graphics, typography, colours, etc., different software applications for creating posters are presented and optionally used for initial designs. In addition to basics in design and layout principles for text and image content, several approaches for reducing bulky content and visual complexity will be presented. Finally, the production step as well as the oral presentation itself will be addressed.

Research Training Group | Beyond Amphiphilicity: Self-Organization of Soft Matter Via Multiple Noncovalent Interactions (GRK 2670)
Spokesman: Prof. Dr. Dariush Hinderberger, coordinator: Dr. Imme Sakwa-Waltz
funding period 2021-2030 by DFG; website
About the doctoral program
Amphiphilicity is a well-established qualitative concept contributing to the understanding of self-assembly processes of molecules composed of two inherently incompatible units (hydrophilic and hydrophobic) in aqueous systems. Polyphilic molecules are more complex molecules, from small molecules to macromolecules, that have interaction patterns with at least two types of interactions, one of them based on amphiphilicity. Self-assembled soft matter systems attain their complexity through noncovalent interaction patterns of their molecular constituents with their environment, solvents, biomolecules, membranes, and surfaces.
