Description Scientists are often in a situation where they need to discuss their findings or their need for extra funding or resources with other members of the scientific community or with the gen-eral public. Therefore, the ability to express yourself concisely and clearly, using strong ar-guments, is of utmost importance. This interactive seminar with real-life […]
The course is for beginner and will give an insight into the most important functions of Illustrator to create scientific illustrations: Program application areas, desktop, profile, drawing areas, navigation, views and auxiliary functions such as auxiliary lines, preferences and shortcuts as well as information and exercises on object creation, editing, and organization. There will be […]
Description You have just finished your science degree or will do so in the near future? What could come next and how to prepare for this big step in your career? In this talk, we´ll look at the (alternative) career options that young scientists have once they have graduated. How can you learn about these […]
Description Conflicts are the moment of truth of any (working) relationship: scarce goods are redistributed, interests are clarified, and people can act as good colleagues or egomaniac tinpot dictators. When setting up our environment so that problems can come to the surface without leading to toxic conflicts, you’re on a good track to establishing healthy […]
Description Every week has 7 days, 168 hours or 10080 minutes… a lot of time to do a lot of things! Still, many of us suffer from the feeling of always having too little of it. You might not think about how you want to spend it and how to distribute it between your career, […]
The main aim of this course is to teach how to approach data analysis problems with classical statistics. We focus on the intuition behind statistical methodologies rather than on "how to run a t-test with R" (which we will also learn, by the way). Topics: - Sampling theory: obtaining information about a population via […]
Description Do you need to present your science and think it is a good idea to jump headlong to your results and not lose valuable time? If you present your work to your supervisor, this might be fine, but any other audience is unlikely to be enthusiastic. You’ll learn how to captivate an audience with […]
Description Have you enjoyed research and teaching in the past years, but now you think it is time to change? Or you are just fed up, but are aware that frustration alone will not lead to a smooth transition out of academia. Maybe you are not sure yet whether to stay in academia or not, […]
Detailed workinar content overview: Basic ImageJ macro recording of a general image analysis pipeline Basics about variables and macro command and how to use them Looping over image files, table data, ROIs Interaction between user and macro Automatic customized measurements Creating and interacting with customized tables Automatically creating folders and flexibly saving all data as […]
Most of us who complete a PhD in a science discipline will end up working outside of academia. Are you wondering what working in the private sector is really like? How do you find these jobs? Do you feel confident that you can impress an industry hiring manager when you describe the very specialized research […]
Description In many companies, quality management knowledge is expected of graduates from the life sciences, but is rarely taught at universities. For this reason, this course offers an introduction to the various quality management systems (QMS) and industry-associated processes. The aim is to understand job advertisements’ requirements and keywords and better assess possible future professional […]
Keynote - "Fundamentals of Intellectual Property, Knowledge & Technology Transfer in Academia" (1h) Content: Importance of technology transfer, IP & patents in academia Different types of intellectual property From invention to patent grant Evaluating inventions IP rights in R&D collaborations Different ways of exploitation and appropriate strategies Objectives: University employees or researchers know why and […]
Do you always drink your coffee alone at conferences or only with colleagues from your own institute? Do you seem to turn your back on all networking opportunities? Or do you have the the feeling that you can't keep a conversation going or even in the first place? If you answered "yes" to any of […]
Detailed workinar content overview: Short Introduction to Fiji / ImageJ and basic functions Overview over proper scientific image file formats, metadata, bit depth In-depth practical introduction to pre-processing Automatic uneven lighting correction Understanding of image filters and their use cases for improved object detection Automatic background subtraction algorithms to reduce unspecific signal Object segmentation with […]
Description: By now, LinkedIn, Twitter or Instagram are no longer new. For many scientists, social media platforms have become an integral tool for global networking, sharing research ideas, and job search. But, what is a good way for scientists to make the best use of these platforms? In this interactive talk, we’ll look at […]

Description: Have you ever had problems falling asleep or concentrating because of a stressful and uncertain time? Well, you are not alone. Stress is a common consequence of high workloads and tight deadlines in scientific careers, especially in academia. When stress becomes excessive, it can significantly disrupt work performance. Learning to cope with stress successfully […]

Description As a scientist, we often work in a cross-cultural setting. Our research groups are international, we collaborate around the globe, and most of us will spend part -or even all- of our career abroad. We can and should feel privileged to work in such a diverse and intercultural work environment. But these cultural and […]
