Research Communication Day
Forschung über Grenzen hinweg kommunizieren
Vorträge, Publikationen, interdisziplinäre Forschungsnetzwerke, eigene Websites, (soziale) Medien oder Kooperationen mit außeruniversitären Partnern: Es gibt viele Wege und Möglichkeiten, die eigene Forschung zu kommunizieren. Gemeinsam mit erfahrenen Forscherinnen und Forschern werden Sie ein breiteres Verständnis von Forschungskommunikation diskutieren und Gründe, Strategien, Vorteile und Herausforderungen erkunden, warum und wie hochspezialisiertes Forschungswissen in effektive Kommunikationsstrategien integriert werden kann - innerhalb der Wissenschaft und darüber hinaus.
Podiumsdiskussionen, kurze Inputs von Experten und interaktive Sitzungen geben Ihnen die Möglichkeit, Ihre eigene Strategie für die Wissenschaftskommunikation zu reflektieren und weiterzuentwickeln und Ihr Verständnis dafür zu verbessern, wie Sie Ihre komplexen Forschungsideen so gut wie möglich publik machen können.
Mehr Wirkung und Sichtbarkeit - in der Wissenschaft und darüber hinaus
Forscherinnen und Forscher aus verschiedenen Disziplinen der RUB teilen ihr Wissen und ihre Erfahrungen darüber, warum und wie sie ihre Forschung kommunizieren - von hochspezialisierten Fachgemeinschaften bis hin zur Kommunikation außerhalb der Wissenschaft. Anhand von kurzen Fallbeispielen und Podiumsdiskussionen werden sie Strategien und Stile zur Kommunikation von Forschung für unterschiedliche Zwecke und Zielgruppen diskutieren. Die Expert*innen erläutern, warum die Skalierung der Kommunikation einen Einfluss darauf hatte, dass sie in der Forschung erfolgreich und sichtbar sind. In einer Post-it-Session können Sie Ihr Forschungsprojekt und Ihr Selbstverständnis als Wissenschaftler*in mit Promovierenden aus anderen Disziplinen teilen und diskutieren.
Wenn Sie sich für das Zertifikat der Research School interessieren, ist die Teilnahme am Research Communication Day einmalig während Ihrer Promotion erforderlich.
Wir bieten die Veranstaltung in englischer Sprache an, um alle Forschungsbereiche und Forschungssprachen auf dem Campus zu integrieren.
+++ Der Research Communication Day 2023 findet am 23. Februar statt. +++
Hinweis: Der Research Communication Day findet in englischer Sprache statt. Daher finden Sie die Programminformationen ausschließlich auf englisch vor.

The event is planned interactively: the invited experts and researchers share their knowledge and experiences. You can bring in your understandings by real-time online votings and we would like to invite you to bring all your questions to discuss them with researchers, experts and peers.
The invited researchers and experts participate throughout the programme. Therefore, we present them with their expertise in the neighbouring tab "Researchers & Experts" and not within the programme.
Programme
- Research communication within research
- Communicating research beyond academia
- Bringing me and my research online
- Post-It Session (see tab "Registration & ToDos)

Research Day 2020: Communicating research beyond (disciplinary) borders, 13 February 2020
The event focussed on explaining research to an interdisciplinary community or to the general public. It supported the participants in understanding and reflecting how to communicate their research beyond their research field or even beyond academic borders. In a panel discussion experts and experienced researchers from RUB shared their experiences about why and how to communicate research to a wider community or public actors. In Mini-Workshops experts offered state-of-the-art and alternative formats supporting the participants to start working on strategies to communicate their research beyond borders: sketching a graphically recorded poster, gamestorming with e.g. Lego or Playmobil and developing an elevator pitch. The programme closed by a “Post-It” session to which the participants brought a Post-It summing up their research in one sentence. During the Post-It session they presented their research project to participants from completely different research fields. You can find the programme here.
Research Day 2019: Requirements and Attitudes for a Successful Research Career, 28 February 2019
The morning programme addressed both: the most important factors for a research career and the personal attitudes that make researchers successful. The participants discussed with invited experts the established and distinct criteria for a research career and reflected their meaning and impact for appointment procedures of university chairs. The participants specially discussed with experienced Postdocs personal career attitudes and experiences. In the second part of the day the participants introduced and proposed their own research project in an interdisciplinary poster session with doctoral researchers from different research fields. In an interactive part at the end of the programme they reflected the question if, why and how to describe the meaning of their research related to broader societal questions.

Research Day 2017: Career factors for your research career and communication of your research beyond disciplinary borders, 9 November 2017
This event addressed the most important personal factors for a research career. Established postdocs shared their experiences and career strategies on developing individual research profiles, building research reputation, raising third-party funding, working on international visibility, developing teaching portfolios and shaping personal skills. They explained how they deal with personal challenges and decisions to build a successful research career. The participants could bring in their career knowledge in interactive parts and discussed their career perspectives. A plenary table on different career options in research closed the morning session. In the second part of the day the participants discussed their own research projects in an interdisciplinary setting. They started with poster sessions in interdisciplinary groups, followed by an expert input giving tips and strategies to explain research to non-experts and a practical exercise in re-designing posters to communicate their research to non-experts. You can find the programme here.
Research Day 2016: Academic Profile and Effective Communication, 14 November 2016
The first half of the day addressed postdoc career options by providing strategic information on how to start and consolidate a research postdoc career. The second half of the day has been dedicated to exchanging about the research projects of the participants within and beyond disciplinary boundaries and to analyzing the importance of communication in research. The first half of the day started with an expert input and interactive discussions about strategic issues and essential skills to become a successful independent researcher. Successful Postdocs shared their experiences and gave tips and recommendations on career building strategies. In the second part of the day an expert panel of experienced researchers of RUB discussed about the relevance of subject specific and non-subjects specific communication in research. Recent interdisciplinary graduate schools of the RUB exemplified how communication cross disciplines work and effects joint research projects. The day closed by interdisciplinary poster sessions supporting the participants to exchange with researchers from within their field and from very different research fields to start a dialogue cross disciplines.

In den ersten vier Jahren organisierten Doktorand*innen der drei Sektionen Geistes- und Sozialwissenschaften, Lebenswissenschaften und Natur- und Ingenieurwissenschaften einen „Section Day“ als eintägige wissenschaftliche Konferenz für jede Sektion. Die Programme kombinierten Vorträge zu aktuellen Forschungsthemen von erfahrenen Wissenschaftler*innen mit Präsentationen der Forschungsprojekte von Doktorand*innen. Ermutigt durch diese Erfahrungen und das sehr grosse Interesse der Doktorand*innen an einem wissenschaftlichen Austausch über die Grenzen der Disziplinen hinweg wurde das Konzept dahingehend geändert, dass eine eintägige Tagung für Doktoranden aus allen Sektionen organisiert wurde, wodurch die "Section Days" zum „Research Day" wurden.
