Further information
Your development as a successful researcher involves more than building research profiles and skills. Communication and interpersonal skills increasingly play an important part in the successful development of your career. In particular, the ability to convey your skills, personal attributes and experiences through effective communication can be crucial for your career as a researcher. Furthermore, knowledge about “power” and “status games” can lead to a broader point of view and a larger set of communication skills. Through this training, participants will develop a precise idea of their own personal communication skills and abilities. They will be enabled to develop a more authentic way of presenting their scientific work, enabling them to promote the content and results of their presentations with much higher self-confidence.
The workshop is conducted as part of the WiNS Adlershof program (Women in Natural Sciences).
