Many Postdocs are highly motivated and driven to succeed in the academic field. But while their minds are buzzing with brilliant ideas, the pressure to perform and the uncertainties in the academic field can take a toll on their well-being and productivity. If approached effectively, these challenges can also be the beginning of a deeply transformative personal and scientific maturation process that paves the road to sustainable success. The aim of this workshop is to empower participants to manage their energy effectively, step into the unknown of the research process with curiosity and have confidence into their own capacity to overcome obstacles along the way. 

Zielgruppe: Postdocs of all research fields of the UA Ruhr universities

This workshop deals with central elements in the communication of one's own science as part of grant writing: Key Message, Audience, and Storyline. The participants work on their central messages on a peer-to-peer basis, learn to adapt to their audiences, and get to know tools to tell the fascinating story of research results and data. This will include consideration of the unique selling point and pitching to peers to optimize the first impression.

AI-based tools enable researchers to work more efficiently and effectively. However, it is important for researchers to use these tools judiciously and with an understanding of their limitations and considering the policies of the funding agencies. The workshop will integrate questions / material / text / ideas from participants. Content / suggestions and questions from the participants will be implemented live online as input into the AI tools. These case studies and live exercises will help participants to apply the concepts and tools to their own scientific research and proposal writing.

Scientific and research group work-processes are more and more based on project-work, sometimes with widely disparate and diverse members. This needs competences in two areas - project management skills and also the knowledge of how to build a team and to be able to cooperate with a variety of different personalities.
