Target Group
Doctoral Candidates in the humanities in all phases of the doctorate

Objectives:
You've finished your studies and are highly motivated to do a doctorate. However, in addition to the unbridled energy to do research, this step into the world of science often raises questions: How do I get into writing? How do I deal with crises while writing, how do I generate large amounts of text and how do I overcome the fear of the blank page? In this course, students will use their own texts and those of others to illustrate the standards required and practised in their academic field. 

Content:

You determine the actual content of the workshop yourself by completing a preliminary questionnaire.

Methods and schedule:
I will give concrete advice on what has already been written in a peer writing consultation, but also discuss more general questions if desired.

10.-11.03.2025, 9:00-12:30 Uhr, online - Dr. Dirk Hausen

Zielgruppe
- Promovierende aller Fachbereiche in allen Phasen der Promotion, die ihren Umgang mit Stress in Auftrittssituationen (Kolloquiumsvortrag, Präsentation, Disputation, etc.) verbessern möchten.

 Ziele

• Kennenlernen verschiedener Strategien zum besseren Umgang mit Stress
• Optimierung von Lampenfieber
• Verbesserung der nonverbalen Präsenz

Inhalte
Auftrittssituationen können sowohl auf mentaler als auch auf körperlicher Ebene eine besondere Herausforderung darstellen; eine Herausforderung, die es bisweilen erschwert, das persönliche Potential voll auszuschöpfen. Daher ist es wichtig, dafür zu sorgen, dass die erworbenen Fähigkeiten in der jeweiligen Situation auch verlässlich abgerufen werden können – so dass man im Idealfall in der Auftrittssituation sogar über sich selbst hinauswächst. Im Kurs werden verschiedene, leicht erlernbare und wissenschaftlich fundierte Methoden vermittelt, die genau hierbei helfen werden. 

• Ausprägungsformen von Lampenfieber
• Ansätze im Umgang mit Lampenfieber (körperlich, kognitiv, mental etc.)
• Praktische Übungen zur Spannungsregulierung
• Zeitliche Phasen des Auftritts

Methoden
Wechsel aus Input und Eigentätigkeit der Teilnehmer (Einzel-, Partner- und Gruppenarbeit).

About the training
Sometimes we feel puzzled when negative emotions come up in a discussion with your scientific fellows or your doctor-father. Therefore it is of advantage to be able to detect signs of disagreements in the body language. To know about the nature, causes and typical process of conflicts will help you to act more successfully and to prevent escalation. We look at your attitudes and experiences towards conflicts and try to find solutions for actual or possible conflicts you may be faced with now or in your near academic future. During this one-day-course we concentrate on the cases you bring with you. Of course it's all confidential!

Objectives

• You learn to make a good analysis of all the various aspects of an ongoing conflict
• You train to put forward your interests in such a way that it doesn't offend other people
• You get confident to make a clear stop-sign when other people are acting unfair
• You can act more diplomatic in harsh meetings and help to deescalate if necessary

Content

• Case studies coming from the group or proposed by the trainer
• The stairs of escalation and ways to stop it from going further
• 5 Conflict styles to apply in various situations
• Principles of none-aggressive communication and of positive body language
• Solutions that nobody expects and the effect of humor

Methods

• Inputs, models from communication, conflict and group psychology
• Exercises and case studies dealing with conflict and critical discussion
• Self and group reflection, feedback on the personal style of getting on with conflict topics
• Techniques of increasing one’s own consciousness and communicative competence

Webinar : 27.06.2025 09:00-11:00, online - Dr. Martina Bross

Target Group
- researchers supervising early career researchers

Please note: This course IS recognized by the Faculty of Science as a course on supervision. Researchers of the Medical Faculty should register for the specific courses of the Medical Faculty via their website. If you are unsure which course to take please make sure to contact us: info@graduiertenakademie.uni-tuebingen.de

This course consists of an asynchronous online phase via ILIAS. You should expect to work on material independently for approx. 3 hours spread over 10 days. The asynchronous phase starts on the date specified above. On this first day of the course, you will receive an email with instructions. Completing work on all of the material is required for participation in the webinar. The course finishes with a 2-hour long webinar via Zoom. The date of the webinar is specified above. The link will be sent to everyone who has completed the material the day before the webinar takes place.

Course description

For researchers, following the rules of good scientific practice is a central tenet of their work and their work ethics. Knowing and following the rules set out in the University of Tübingen’s Guidelines for Safeguarding Good Scientific Practice and the DFG Code of Conduct on Research Integrity not only ensures that researchers can fulfill their obligation to the public to use resources efficiently and contribute to important developments in science and society in a reliable and integer manner. It also ensures that the working culture within the academic setting is based on mutual respect and responsibility. Especially for researchers in an early phase of their career, their supervisors and team leaders are important role models. As the DFG Code of Conduct states, researchers should be instructed and receive training on the rules of Good Scientific Practice as early in their career as possible.

In this online workshop, we will have a twofold perspective: We will refresh our knowledge of the rules as set out in the documents mentioned above, but we will also reflect on how they come into the process of doctoral supervision.

Content

• general principles of good scientific practice
• data/research documentation and management
• plargiarism prevention
• regulations for authorship
• guidelines for supervision
• ombudspersons and the procedure in cases of reported misconduct

Objectives
The day-to-day leadership of scientists lies in the area of tension between research, their own further qualification and employee management and involves special challenges. Successful leadership always starts with the individual. Therefore, clarifying and shaping the leadership role is a first focus in this seminar. This requires the ability to clearly communicate and implement these basics of cooperation. Communication and know-how on how to conduct professional discussions therefore form a second focus of this seminar. In this training, the participants deal with leadership theoretically and practically; deal with their understanding of the role of leadership and gain clarity about their leadership principles; expand their repertoire of actions so that they can lead in a way that is appropriate to the situation and motivating; practice how to successfully use basic communicative tools.

Contents

• Developing self-image in the role as a manager
• leading appropriately to the situation: Seeing and developing employee potentials
• Experiencing different leadership styles
• using communication techniques successfully
• preparing and conducting feedback and delegation meetings

Some more conten information may be added.

Please note: The course consists of a joint workshop on 26 June and individual coaching slots on 27 June. 

Target Group

• Advanced Doctoral Candidates
• Postdoctoral Researchers

Objectives
In the German and European science system, third-party funding is becoming increasingly important both for scientific institutions and their continued existence as well as for individual career development. Often, however, such third-party funding is acquired without systematic strategic planning and without taking into account the potentials and goals of the researchers involved. This workshop therefore chooses a fundamentally different approach by focusing on the previous experiences and respective plans of the participants. In this respect, it pursues the goal of opening up strategies for obtaining funding to the participants against the background of their individual plans and interests in terms of content, and to mirror their plans externally through a coaching offer.

Content

• Individual status analysis & prospection: Analysis of status quo & goals
• Basics of the German and European science system
• Further development of the scientific career: Typology of research funding
• Dealing with program prose, project planning and change of perspective
• Research funding - do's and don'ts of the application & review perspectives.
• On the 2nd day of the event: Individual discussion in short coaching sessions.

Some more content information may be added.

Please note: This workshop is part of the certificate program Science Communication. If you are interested, you can still sign up for it. We will put you on a waiting list. If places remain that are not taken by the participants in the certificate program we will allocated them on a first come, first served basis.

Target Group

Doctoral Candidates and Postdocs

Objectives

Participants will learn to identify polarizing elements in communication, avoid contributing to polarization themselves, and apply strategies to de-escalate and depolarize debates, particularly in the context of science communication.

Content

By practicing responses to polarizing communication, participants will strengthen their own communication skills. The combination of (short) presentations on the theoretical background of communication and interactive group debates aims to provide both knowledge and practical skills. Examples from social media and discussions on how to respond will help participants practice counterspeech and strategies for handling personal defamation or hate speech. During the workshop, participants are encouraged to share their own experiences, ensuring the content is directly applicable to their science communication practice.

We use real-world examples of polarizing communication that may include false information or discriminatory content, such as transphobia.

• Polarizing communication
• Depolarization strategies
• Invitational Rhetoric
• Counterspeech techniques
• Science Communication
• Social Media

Methods

Presentations, group work (e.g., practicing responses to polarizing reactions/statements), analysis of best-practice examples in depolarizing communication, and Fishbowl discussions.
