Successful Communication and Cooperation
Workshops: Writing, Presenting, Communicating
Your research expertise and personal skills make you successful in research. To contribute to a scientific discussion, you share your research knowledge and results within your research community, you pass on your knowledge to others, you cooperate with different researchers and participate in the latest research discussions.
We support you through professional workshops in enhancing your personal skills to convincingly communicate your research: for your publications, the posters you present, the talks you give, or the discussions you have in your own research environment. In the workshops, you will develop individual competencies enabling you to effectivley communicate your research and to collaborate with other researchers.
The workshops combine state-of-the-art knowledge with practical experience. The trainers are highly professional experts in their fields and share their knowledge and experience. You will find workshops on basic and advanced levels and some for different research fields. We offer workshops in English and German. You are invited to decide for yourself which workshops are interesting for your personal competence development.
