Advanced skills courses for scientists from scientists

Taking the next step in your career requires more than just technical knowledge. We offer on-site courses that are ideally suited to complement research expertise at your institution. They can of course also be customized to meet your special requirements.

SCIENTISTS NEED MORE

Intended for PhD students at the beginning of their career, this comprehensive course covers (almost) everything from group dynamics, communication and presentation skills, project and time management. Intensive 3 days course.

MAPPED

Manage and plan your PhD: How to prioritize, how to collaborate and install a network, how to interact with your supervisor, project and time management and more! Most suited but not exclusive for fresh PhD students. 1 day “crash” course.

COMMUNICATION

Efficient communication of information is key in science! Topics of this course include research collaboration, intercultural competence, feedback in science and management of laboratory staff. 2-3 days of intense training.

EFFECTIVE PRESENTATION

If a text is easy to read and understand, it is well written! We will teach you to identify and focus on the main message, produce an outline, present data concisely, orally or with poster and how to apply for grant money. 2 days course.

HIGHER EDUCATION

Fast forward for your teaching qualities: didactics and content management, evaluation and feedback, how learning works, understanding and addressing conflicts, presentation skills. 3 days course for beginners and advanced lecturers.

STAGE FRIGHT

Do you have enough charisma? Scientists with extensive theater experience will train your impact on stage: interpret and use body language, identify your strengths – be convincing in discussions! 2 days course on a real stage.
