Das Studium ist geschafft, die Motivation zur Promotion groß. Neben unbändiger Energie zu forschen stellen sich jedoch bei diesem Schritt in die Welt der Wissenschaft auch häufig Fragen: Wie komme ich ins Schreiben? Wie gehe ich mit Krisen während des Schreibens um, wie generiere ich große Mengen an Text und wie überwinde ich die Angst vorm leeren Blatt? In diesem Kurs wird anhand ihrer eigenen und fremder Texte deutlich gemacht, welche Standards ihr wissenschaftlicher Zweig voraussetzt und praktiziert. 

Inhalte
Die tatsächlichen Inhalte des Workshops legen Sie durch das Ausfüllen eines Vorab-Fragebogens selbst fest.

Methoden
Aufgrund der kleinen Kursgröße werden wir in einer kollegialen Schreibberatung konkrete Hinweise zu bereits Geschriebenem geben, wenn gewünscht aber auch generellere Fragen diskutieren.

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 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

11.-12.07.2024, 9:00-15:00 Uhr, online - Dr. Angelika Wolf

Zielgruppe
- Promovierende zu Beginn der Promotion (1. Jahr)
- Promovierende in der Forschungsphase
- Promovierende in der Abschlussphase
- Postdocs / Promovierte WissenschaftlerInnen (i.d.R. 1-2 Jahre nach der Promotion)

Ziele
• Karriereziele unter Einbezug der eigenen Biografie entwickeln und umsetzen
• Zusammen gedacht: Gestaltung von Karriere- und Lebenszielen
• Vom Ziel her gedacht: Wo will ich den nächsten 5-10 Jahren landen?
• Mein Lebenskonzept und eine (wissenschaftliche) Karriere – würde das passen? 

Inhalte

Wie geht es weiter nach der Doktorarbeit? Wie finde ich Zugang zum Arbeitsmarkt – möchte ich 
dabei gerne im wissenschaftlichen Bereich bleiben, aber vielleicht nicht unbedingt zwingend an
der Universität? Und gehe ich doch lieber in die Wirtschaft?
Diesen Fragen widmet sich der zweitägige Workshop mit wechselnden Inputs und individueller
Laufbahnanalyse. Zur persönlichen Standortbestimmung ist eine Reflexion der eigenen
Vergangenheit und Gegenwart nötig, um Schritte in die Zukunft zu planen. Der Workshop regt
dazu an, in einem ersten Schritt Karriereziele selbstbewusst zu entwickeln. Dabei sollen die
eigene Biografie und persönlichen Werte nicht außer Acht gelassen werden, denn
Karriereplanung findet nicht losgelöst von privaten Zielen und der Suche nach einer
zufriedenstellenden Lebensbalance statt.
Im Laufe des Workshops werden die eigenen Ressourcen und Kompetenzen anhand von
beispielhaften Stellenausschreibungen analysiert und unter die Lupe genommen sowie passende
Präsentationsstrategien für Vorstellungsgesprächen eingeübt.

Methoden
Anhand von verschiedenen (Reflexions-) Tools, abwechslungsreichen theoretischen Inputs und
interaktiven Aufgaben und weiteren im Workshop vorgestellten Planungsinstrumenten gehen die 
Teilnehmer/innen in Einzel- und Gruppenübungen der Frage nach, wie die Zielerreichung immer 
wieder selbständig überprüft werden kann.

Start: 21.02.2024; Webinar: 08.03.2024, 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

Target Group

- Postdoctoral Researchers

Objectives

The objective of this workshop is for participants to start developing the tools and mindset for creative problem solving, required to drive innovation in any context. Applying Design Thinking in their work, researchers will be able

• to be “systematically creative” i.e., not depend on a genius in their team but rather be able to generate the genius together from their team,
• to communicate effectively with your PI, colleagues, professor, other researchers, and funding organisations, which is particularly helpful in interdisciplinary settings,
• to access additional resources, as they get continuous feedback from others, and
• to grow confidence, generate buy-in, and use time more efficiently, as they present only increments of their project, instead of “working super lonely for six months before daring to present your ‘perfect’ story for the first time to anyone”, as a former participant put it
   

Content

Participants will

• learn to establish conditions for creative work,
• discover the basic tenets of design thinking as an approach,
• get to know highly effective tools of Value Proposition Design as a way to implement design thinking in the Ideation phase of the research process,
• clarify the profiles of their target audience and create a unique Value Proposition,
• practice a novel way of giving & receiving feedback,
• present a clear their message with a powerful emotional impact 

Methods

The methods used in the workshop are highly interactive and participant driven. They combine personal work, experiential learning exercises, dialogue, facilitated work in groups of varying size, co-creation, and reflection.
We create a uniquely open and trustful atmosphere in our workshops, where participants are encouraged to openly share their experiences, to learn from each other, and to support each other in a benevolent manner.
Learning proceeds on three levels: (1) We provide a theoretical overview. (2) Participants go through powerful experiences in individual and group exercises, which are discussed and debriefed together in a safe environ-ment. (3) Finally, by reflecting together, participants draw lessons from the interaction process in the class, increasing self-awareness and learning about good practices.

14.06.+19.06.+26.06.+03.07.2024, 09:00-12:30, online - Dr. Sabine Preusse

Target Group
- Postdoctoral Researchers

Objectives

The objective of this workshop is to enable you to
a) develop an idea for a research project into a sound work programme,
b) to match it to the requirements of the funding programme, and
c) to facilitate the communication with the reviewer by presenting your complex research in an easy-to-understand way.

To achieve this, we will try out the RaumZeit toolkit for designing and communicating your research project convincingly by working on your own research project. This may be a new idea for a real grant proposal or your current research project. Besides, you will obtain a lot of background information on different funding programmes, evaluation processes and potential pitfalls.

Content

Session 1: Funding programmes and how to read the documents
Session 2: Develop your idea into a work plan
Session 3: Communicat your project convincingly
Session 4: Impact and Budget

Methods

This is an online workshop including presentations, group work and individual work. Some "homework" will be provided for those, who want to use the time between the sessions to work on their grant proposal. There will be the opportunity to obtain some feedback - either in the group or individually - on the homework.

20.-21.06.2024, 09:00-17:00, Venue: Seminar room 246, Lothar-Meyer Bau - Dr. B. Elija Bleher

Please note: The course consists of a joint workshop on 20 June and individual coaching slots on 21 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.

Target Group
- Postdoctoral Researchers of all stages

Objectives

• Foster recognizing the importance of body language and voice in the context of science communication. 
• Showing that giving a lecture rigidly according to script is not sufficient 
• Getting to know and to experience the rhetorical potential of physical and vocal presence 
• Exploring and developing one's own performative skills for science communication. 

Content

More and more events that require persuasion are now taking place online: from team meetings to grant applications. Crucially, recent research has shown that some communication techniques that we have learned and successfully adapted for in-person communication do not work the same when projected on a computer screen. Thus, in order to be a successful communicator in both worlds we need to be able to adapt our rhetoric. The experience of the increased use of online formats of the last years has provided plenty of fresh material for analysis and allowed to gain new insight into key differences between persuasion in-person versus online. The aim of this course is to develop consciousness of what needs to be adapted in personal persuasion habits when the format is changed and exercise this ability under guidance of experienced trainers.  

• Science communication as rhetorical communication situation 
• Reflection on one’s own role as science communicator Introduction to the specifics of in-person and online presentations 
• Ideal use of space and creation of presence in both formats 
• Generating of social presence despite the spatial distance 
• Inputs and exercises about persuasion and the role of body language and voice in online presentations 
• Overview of body language and voice elements regarding presentations in presence and online 
• Addressee orientation while presenting one’s own research 
• Introducing the concept of live coaching 

Methods

• Short presentations (participants have to prepare an own online presentations beforehand: 5-10 min) 
• (Interactive) Inputs 
• Breakout sessions 
• Group discussions  
• Feedback from the lectures, peer feedback and live coaching
