[DFG] DFG Funding Opportunities for Postdocs (November 9, 2021, 14.00-15.30)
The DFG offered a short webinar concerning their funding options for the postdoctoral phase.
Germany’s largest independent research funding organisation offered funding opportunities for all career stages between doctorate and professorship. This webinar imparted the knowledge regarding the DFG and its funding portfolio for postdocs in Germany. We gave a quick overview about the Walter Benjamin, the Emmy Noether and the Heisenberg Programme, as well as the Individual Research Grant with a temporary position for principal investigators. We also provided advice on how to prepare proposals and what happens after submission to the DFG.

Introduction to Python (October 27-28, 2021)
In recent years Python has become more and more popular. According to the Tiobe Index it is about to overtake Java and to be the number two in the list of the most important programming language in the world. In the fields of numerical programming and Machine Learning, Python is the leader. It is not just easier to learn than other languages but programs in Python can also be faster written and are characterized by their easy readability. One of the reasons for this are the user-friendly data structures and the easy to grasp syntax.

Effective Presentation (January 13 – 14, 2022)
Science is mostly production of high quality data. However, presentation of data is arguably of similar importance: after generation of results, you want to convey the information to your fellow scientists, be it in the form of talks and posters at conferences or in manuscript for great publications. Presenting for the lay public is of outstanding importance not only to get understood but to get a job.
