The four categories Research and IntegrityCareer DevelopmentLeadership and Management, and Communication and Creativity focus on specific skill areas that are important for your career portfolio as an early career researcher.

Focus on sustainable effect of participation

“In order to benefit as intensively and sustainably as possible from participation in our workshops, it is best to make sure already at the selection stage that there is a current and specific reason for participation.”, says Juliane Rein, Programme Coordinator. She puts together the programme, organises the workshops, and supervises trainers and participants.

All workshops can be found here on our website. As usual, registration opens one month before each workshop takes place. Some of the workshops will take place online and others will be on site in the seminar rooms of the Research Academy Leipzig at Villa Tillmanns. The further development of the coronavirus pandemic may require us to make last-minute changes.
