[IAMO GS] Developing Intercultural Competence for the Global Workplace (April 24-25, 2024)

Written by

There are free slots in a workshop organised by the IAMO Graduate School.

The ability to communicate interculturally is also becoming a key competence for many career paths within and outside academia in today’s networked and globalized working world. This two-day workshop offers valuable insights for self-regulated cultural learning and enhances intercultural competence in diverse settings. Participants get equipped with essential skills and tools in cross-cultural negotiation and conflict management. 

The workshop is held by Alexia Petersen, a Canadian with multicultural background. Alexia teaches workshops on intercultural communication at the RWTH Aachen (Aachen University) and is frequently invited to teach at other universities throughout Germany and abroad.

This workshop is open to doctoral researches at all stages of their doctorates. The topic is particularly relevant for all doctoral candidates who (want to) work in an international working environment.

If you want to join, please send a short email to the coordinator, Franziska Schaft ().

The time has come! – the doctoral student representatives at MLU Halle-Wittenberg will be elected for the second time. This means that all doctoral students at this university have the opportunity to vote and elect their representatives between May 16 and May 27, 2024. However, they not only have the right to vote, but also can be elected themselves.

So if you feel that you would like to represent the interests of doctoral students in your faculty or the Senate, please contact your representation (for information) or fill in the form directly (between April 3 and April 23, 2024). Further information on the procedure can be found on the website of the election committee.

[DFG] Einfluss generativer Modelle für die Text- und Bilderstellung auf die Wissenschaften und das Förderhandeln

Written by

“Die Einsatzmöglichkeiten von „Künstlicher Intelligenz“ (KI) beschäftigen derzeit große Teile der Gesellschaft. Anlass ist insbesondere die Entwicklung generativer Modelle für die Text- und Bilderstellung wie „ChatGPT“ und „DALL-E“, die eine Interaktion zwischen Mensch und technischem System in gesprochener oder Text-/Bildsprache ermöglichen, und ihre Bereitstellung für die Allgemeinheit.

Schon jetzt verändern KI-Technologien den gesamten wissenschaftlichen, erkenntnisgewinnenden und kreativen Arbeitsprozess in vielfältiger Weise und werden in den verschiedenen Wissenschaftsbereichen unterschiedlich eingesetzt. Diese Entwicklung steht bezüglich der generativen Modelle für die Text- und Bilderstellung (im Folgenden als „generative Modelle“ bezeichnet) jedoch erst am Anfang, sodass es einer begleitenden Analyse und Bewertung bedarf, um die entsprechenden Chancen und möglichen Risiken abzuschätzen.

Diese Stellungnahme des Präsidiums der Deutschen Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) dient der Orientierung von Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern in ihrem wissenschaftlichen Forschungshandeln. Auch Antragstellenden bei der DFG sowie den am Begutachtungs-, Bewertungs- und Entscheidungsprozess beteiligten Personen werden Anhaltspunkte für den Umgang insbesondere mit generativen Modellen gegeben.”

European Training Network “Joint Training on Numerical Modelling of Highly Flexible Structures for Industrial Applications”

Written by

spokesperson: Prof. Dr. Martin Arnold, coordinator: Sarah Keil and Claudia Weinhold-Kiefhaber (funding 2019-2024)

Highly flexible slender structures like yarns, cables, hoses or ropes are essential parts of high-performance engineering systems. The complex response of such structures in real operational conditions is far beyond the capabilities of current modelling tools that are at the core of modern product development cycles. The THREAD project will bring together young mechanical engineers and mathematicians who will develop mechanical models and numerical methods for designing highly flexible slender structures, and support the development of future virtual prototyping tools for products where such structures have a key role in functional system performance.

Spring school “Socially Engaged Research in Life Sciences” (April 9-10, 2024)

Written by

The following event is organized by the Horizon EU Projekt BETTER Life.

There is a growing interest in collaborative and interdisciplinary research for addressing many global challenges that societies are facing nowadays. Early Career Researchers can and should play a key role in addressing these challenges and breaking the traditional barriers of academic research by better aligning their research with societal needs and wants.

With the International Spring School you will be given an overview of the potential and challenges of socially engaged research and you can explore individual approaches in greater depth as well as learn about interesting methods for enhancing socially engage research in workshops and sessions.

BETTER Life looks forward to welcoming Master’s students, PhD students and post-docs who want to expand their knowledge of socially engaged research.

Spring School takes place online via Zoom in English and is free of charge.

If you are interested, please register on eventbrite by April 4, 2024.
