Participation is only possible with registration.

Panel Discussion from 17:00 - 18:30 and afterwards  you have the opportunity to network by food and drinks.

One of the main concerns of postdoc researchers is the question of how to get money for their research – and even their own position. Five researchers from different disciplines will share their experiences with third-party funding. Having been successful in various funding schemes, they will talk about their personal does and don’ts, but also about challenges and obstacles they have met. After the panel discussion, you have the opportunity to meet each other and the representatives of different support structures for postdocs at our university.  Food and drinks are provided.

Guests:

Elisa Filevich, Hector Institute for Education Sciences and Psychology, Freigeist Grant Volkswagen Foundation
Fynn Holm, Japanese Studies, DFG Emmy-Noether-Programme
Nadia Said, Psychology, DFG Research Grant

Rhetorical science communication aims to convey scientific content in a clear, accessible, target-group-oriented and persuasive way. Accordingly, various rhetorical principles can be used to successfully communicate one's own science. In addition, the use of generative AI tools in science communication can be useful and helpful, but also risky. It is therefore relevant to take a closer look at the strengths and weaknesses of generative AI tools in relation to science communication
