Do you want to improve specific skills?

Do you want to facilitate efficient research at your institution?

Customised training can help!

My trainings focus on skills that are crucial for scientists in academia (learn more about my own academic background and CV).

I provide trainings tailored to your needs in German or English. Typical formats include in person trainings and virtual trainings, as half-day, full-day or two-day workshops.

I can cover a large variety of topics related to scientific work and am always happy to conceptualise new workshops from scratch or adapt existing ones to better suit your requirements. In the following you find an overview of topics and a selection of example workshop concepts for each of them:

Technical Skills

Generative AI tools for research, data analysis and scientific programming, and digital tools for research.

Research Integrity

Good scientific practice, Open Science, reproducibility, grey areas, and the responsible use of AI.

Communication

Effective communication, scientific presentations, conflict management, creativity, and career development.

Why training?

Excellent science relies on more than domain-specific knowledge. An understanding of academic culture and research integrity as well as strategies around self-management and effective communication are all crucial for conducting research responsibly and efficiently. Additionally, engaging scientific presentations and outreach activities help maximise the impact of your work.

To succeed as a scientist, you will need to present your research clearly and confidently, negotiate, navigate internal conflicts, and handle difficult interpersonal situations. Training can help you to develop skills to meet these challenges throughout academic life while staying connected to your original motivation and scientific ideals.

What to expect

My trainings are a result of the skills I gained during my academic career, my teaching experience, and my expertise in communication. In my workshops, participants are provided with tools and strategies and have the opportunity to try them out in a safe environment as well as reflect on the application to their own individual situations. My background as trained mediator and a keen improvisation theatre actress allows me to flexibly and individually react to the participants’ needs and input. Being a researcher myself, I will present any theoretical content with as much scientific evidence as possible and with a critical mindset. I design my trainings as evidence-informed as possible. This means that I keep myself informed on the latest research on learning and training design and regularly exchange expertise with my trainer network.

When is training not the right tool

The purpose of training is to help you acquire skills that you can apply to your particular situation, but it is not the right tool, if you want input and support with your particular challenges or conflicts. If this is the case, you could consider Coaching or Mediation.

My trainings are highly interactive and rely on active participation and reflection of the participants. If you are looking for somebody to lecture on theoretical content, then my trainings are not the right tool for you.
