Workshop "Networking and Relationship Building" with Angela Daalmann

In a network it is easier to carry out projects together, start cooperations,
exchange knowledge and shape career paths. But networking is more than just collecting contacts.
In this workshop, you will get an insight how you can profit from a network. You will practice how to get in contact with other people and how to improof your communication skills.
You will analyze your own network and learn how you can support others, but also how to communicate your own needs in a professional way.

Empowerment Training for queer scientists with Né Fink

Being queer or/and being perceived as queer is not always an easy task to manage. In fields that often expect us to hide our experiences and identities this can be especially challenging. No matter if out or not, being a queer person fostering an academic career has its obstacles.

In this training we want to share and connect around our queer (trans, lesbian, gay, bisexual, pan, ace, etc.) experiences. With different methods we find out together, what we face daily in the academic setting. We will explore different ressources and strategies together. By collecting ideas how to stay strong and articulate we explore ways to thrive as queer scientists.
