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.

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
