PhD students and postdocs with a background in natural science, humanities, and social science are usually not educated in economic thinking. Sometimes they do not know how enterprises create values. Often they have no ideas about what different departments contribute to the company`s economic success. This lack of knowledge makes them feeling insecure about their opportunities in fields beside research and development. That is the reason why their applications are often not convincing. In this course, participants will learn about different roles and tasks in enterprises and how employees in different departments interact and depend on each other. Playing different roles enables participants to realize for themselves what makes fun most and what fits best to them.

Moreover, you will make yourself familiar with all setting options, thereby actively controlling your privacy and visibility within and beyond LinkedIn. Finally, you will be introduced to further social media which are potentially useful for academic and other professional issues.

We are constantly expanding our offers and try to react on your needs. However, not every topic is addressed. For those of you who are interested in science-related topics on which we do not offer something (at the moment or so far), here some hints to trainings offered by external providers:
EMBO Laboratory Management Course
Despite they are expensive (€ 1,850.00), they are very requested. Consequently, at the moment, free slots only are available for a training specifically addressing female leaders in science.
ReMaT | Research Management Training
The next one is mid of September in Hamburg. The participation fee is 450 €.
Workshops of the Deutscher Hochschulverband (DHV)
Those workshops are so far only offered in German. However, they are offering quite a broad range of topics including preparation for application to professorships in Germany. Participation fees vary between 200 and 400 € per workshop day – they differ between members of the DHV and non-members.

We are happy to announce the workshop “Understanding conflicts, resolving conflicts” with Sabine Mariß.
Course dates: 8-9 September 2015, 09:00 a.m. – 05:00 p.m., respectively
Duration: 2 days
Place: Seminar room, Von-Siebold-Str. 4
Trainer: Sabine Mariß
Registration: https://www.uni-goettingen.de/de/192407.html

A life without conflict and tension does not exist. Especially in the professional context, we regularly are confronted with situations where a pleasant and productive cooperation seems impossible.
In this seminar, we will therefore take a closer look at the following aspects: What are our “red conflict buttons” and what are the reasons for our strong reactions? How can we express our opinion and interests in a manner that the other person does not need to withdraw offended or annoyed? And how to stay calm when being confronted with accusations and criticism and handle the situation constructively so that a conflict may finally lead to an improved connection and better mutual understanding.
In addition to the necessary theoretical inputs the focus of this hands-on workshop will be on practical experiences and exercises.
