SUMMARY:Think statistics! with R | Online Workshop
DESCRIPTION: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"\n(which we will also learn\, by the way). \n  \nTopics: \n- Sampling theory: obtaining information about a population via sampling. Sample characteristics (location\, dispersion\, skewness)\, estimation of the mean\, standard error of the mean. \n- Probability theory: \n-- Discrete distributions: Discrete Uniform\, Bernoulli\, Binomial\, Poisson\, Negative Binomial. \n-- Continuous distributions: From the Discrete to the Continuous Uniform. Exponential and Gamma as waiting time distributions in Poisson processes. \n-- Central limit theorem: The Normal distribution\, chi-square distribution. Distribution of the sample mean. Standard error of the mean. \n- Hypothesis testing. Confidence interval of the sample mean\, "Student"'s t-distribution. One-group and two-group t-tests. \n- Type I and Type II errors. P-value distributions (why the magnitude of the p-value doesn't matter). Power calculations for the t-test. \n- "Cookbook of tests": \n-- Distribution tests: Shapiro-Wilk\, Kolmogorov-Smirnov. \n-- Tests of location: Wilcoxon-Mann-Whitney test. Parametric and non-parametric tests. \n-- Tests of disperson: F-test. \n-- Counting statistics: chi-square test for contingency tables and goodness-of-fit. Fisher's exact test. \n-- Correlations: Pearson\, Kendall's tau\, Spearman's rank correlation test. \n  \nOut of scope: \nWe are **not** going to analyse participants' data\, with one exception: \nthey can bring a small dataset of their own with two groups and can try out a t-test and a power calculation on it. Most exercises use synthetic data for pedagogical purposes. \n  \nPre-requisites: \n- Basic familiarity with the R programming language is **required**. \n- Familiarity with Jupyter notebooks and the Jupyter system (https://jupyter.org) is advantageous\, but not required (the basics will be explained in advance). \n  \nHands-on exercises: \nThese are short pieces of R code that the participants run during the lecture. Most of them are simulations that illustrate sampling errors\, p-value variability etc. The exercises run on a server provided by the instructor. \n  \n"Homework" exercises: \nThese are simple tasks that the participants can complete after the lectures on their own and the system tells them whether the solutions were correct. The exercises run on yet another server provided by the instructor. \n  \nTime: 2 x 4 hours\, with 2 short breaks. \n  \nHandouts: \nProvided after the course. The participants get PDF copies of the lecture slides (not to be distributed) and some other "goodies" (scripts etc.)

SUMMARY:Overcoming Decisions Paralysis | Online Talk
DESCRIPTION:In today’s academic environment\, researchers face an overwhelming number of choices—ranging \nfrom career paths and collaborations to projects and priorities. While having options is often seen as a \nprivilege\, the sheer volume of choices can lead to decision paralysis. This webinar explores the roots \nof decision paralysis\, how it manifests (often disguised as procrastination)\, and offers practical tools \nto break free from its grip. In this webinar we will: \n- Understand what decision paralysis is and how it differs from simple indecision \n- Explore the underlying causes: fear of regret\, perfectionism\, paradox of choice\, etc. \n- Learn practical tools to build decision-making confidence and take purposeful action.

SUMMARY:Self-presentation and Networking at Conferences
DESCRIPTION:Conferences offer far more than scientific talks. They are opportunities to build meaningful professional relationships\, create new collaborations\, and increase your visibility within your field. In this interactive workshop\, participants will learn practical networking strategies for conferences: preparing and reaching out to people in advance\, navigating coffee breaks and conference dinners with confidence\, and effectively communicating the value of their work during informal conversations. We will also discuss how to follow up after the event to turn brief encounters into lasting professional connections. \nAn optional module on using social media as a professional networking tool can be included based on participants’ interests.

SUMMARY:Academia & Parenting – Managing the Mental Load | Online Talk
DESCRIPTION:How do we juggle work-life balance when “life” comes with such a huge mental load? When the family to-do list is three times as long as the work to-do list and you feel like you are always the one that has to remember. How do we thrive at work whilst navigating the worry and guilt of managing a family at home? How do we learn to share the planning and management of our homes and not just the delegation of a never-ending task list in our minds? It is possible. In this session\, we will: \n- Explore what mental load is and how it manifests in our daily lives. \n- Learn to recognise signs of burnout and tools we can employ to avoid it. \n- Learn to take meaningful breaks. \n- Learn to be more effective at work so you can enjoy your time at home. \n- Identify worry and self-doubt loops and how to stop them. \n- Explore mindfulness and self-compassion as tools to help you be present with our kids when we are at home and present with our works when we need to be working.

SUMMARY:AI Foundations & Security | Career Development with AI Assistants | Online Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Session A — AI Foundations & Security (Briefing) \nShort\, low-threshold briefing on the AI assistant landscape as well as risks and security in handling data. Also suitable for colleagues who only want a brief introduction. \nSession B — Career Development with AI Assistants  \nSelf-Assessment and Goal Clarification \nAI-supported self-assessment of strengths\, working style\, and career drivers\, mapped against realistic career paths in and beyond academia. Participants leave with a clear\, individually validated set of goals rather than a generic checklist. \nProfessional Positioning \nClarifying and communicating one's own professional positioning — CV\, cover letters\, applications\, and networking presence (e.g. LinkedIn). Hands-on\, in-depth work with participants' own materials\, with significantly more time for individual feedback and revision than the combined variant allows. \nSynthesis\, Action Plan and Decision Framework \nParticipants build a personal\, AI-supported decision framework for evaluating opportunities (offers\, role changes\, further qualification) and translate it into a concrete action plan with follow-up steps and milestones — the added depth that justifies a dedicated half day. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

SUMMARY:Be a Better Speaker | Online Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Communicate. Connect. Convince. \nThe world belongs to those who can share their ideas! \nPublic speaking is not a talent. It is a skill. And for scientists\, it may be the most important one outside the lab. \nWhether you are presenting your research to funders\, collaborating across teams\, engaging policymakers\, or stepping in front of a general audience for the first time\, how you communicate is what makes your work land\, or not. \nMost scientists are exceptionally good at presenting facts. What is harder\, and what this programme addresses directly\, is making those facts matter: helping your listener understand quickly and easily what you are saying\, why it is relevant\, why it is urgent\, and what they should do with it. Without that\, even the strongest research struggles to move people. \nLeft unpractised\, the habits that hold you back become harder to shift. This program gives CPI Academy members a hands-on\, practical space to become significantly more aware of what they already do well\, and more deliberate about what they do next. \nThe program is scheduled for the following dates: 16.11.2026\, 18.11.2026\, 20.11.2026\, each day from 9:00 to 10:30. \nFind more about the lecturer (https://www.moving-speaker.com/) and interesting information about the program HERE. \n  \n
