Introduction to the German academic system
The German academic system is complex and not always easy to understand, especially for academics from abroad. In need of explanation are particularly the federal structure, the typology of universities and research institutions and also the various options for funding research projects.
This seminar provides a compact overview of the German academic system and offers the opportunity to ask individual questions. It is primarily aimed at international postdocs, but is also open to all other interested persons.

New ways of scientific publishing
Scientific publishing and communication about the latest research findings have changed fundamentally over the last ten years. The digital transformation and mechanisms, such as those we know from social networks, have created new opportunities to open up and expand scientific discourse.
This seminar focuses on how academics can efficiently and sustainably generate added value for themselves and the dissemination of their work from the new forms of publishing presented.
