Lunch-Academy

The Lunch-Academy offers a range of short formats and interactive workshops designed specifically for early- and mid-career researchers, which complement our regular workshop program. The short formats, most of which take place at lunchtime, offer the opportunity to explore and take advantage of targeted training and advisory programmes that fit perfectly into your schedule.

Lunch & Learn

In compact short workshops during lunchtime, we offer popular workshop topics for all those who do not want to commit to a whole day. We also use this format to try out new topics or to provide important impulses that do not require a full-day workshop. So you can use your lunch break effectively for further training and inspiration!

The “Lunch & Learn” format starts in January 2025 with the following short workshop:

Negotiating Salary with Dr. Yvonne Brockhaus (January 21, 2025, 12.00-1:30 pm), online, in English

Let’s Talk About Careers

In the online event series "Let's Talk About Careers", the Graduate Academy, in cooperation with the Alumni Office of the University of Tübingen, invites alumni who no longer work in academia to talk about their personal career paths. With this format we want to support doctoral researchers and postdocs in their individual career planning. Participants can learn about possible career paths outside of academia and meet scientists who have taken this step and would like to talk about their experiences and decisions. The indiviudal talks are held in English or German.

Good Science Sessions

The online format Good Science Sessions invites researchers of all career stages as well as students to reflect on standards for good research. This format is open to all members of the University and aims to include all disciplines. The DFG’s “Code of Conduct for Safeguarding Good Research Practice” and the University of Tübingen’s revised “Guidelines for Ensuring Good Scientific Practice” serve as starting points to explore different aspects of good science. The sessions will be held in English, but participants are welcome to submit questions in German as well.

Round Tables Science Management

As part of the Certificate Program Science Management, Round Tables are held regularly by experts from the various different fields of science management at the University of Tübingen and in the science system in general. The Round Tables can be attended independently of the certificate program. They will give you first impressions of the broad field of science management in a practical context and enable you to ask questions and get to know the professional field in its diverse facets. All Round Tables take place online via Zoom and are held in German.
