Realising your own career and development goals: self-confident, authentic and with attitude
Speaker: Katharina Bonyhádi
Tuesday, October, 21 and 28, 2025 from 09:00-12:15
With a view to individual career and development goals, we will address the following questions in the workshop:
- How do I recognise and define my own values and attitudes?
- How do I approach my professional and personal development?
- What steps can I take on my own, how can we develop together?
In order to come closer to answering these questions, we will look at our own values and attitudes and their influence on our professional and personal development. We will then have the opportunity to explore our own options for action.

Communication, cooperation and conflict management - actively tackling and resolving conflicts
Speaker: Dr. Kathrin Carl
Thursday, November, 6, 2025 from 09:00-16:00
In our everyday professional (and private) lives, there is constant communication and interaction, be it with colleagues, bosses, students and many others. When people work together, it is completely normal for misunderstandings and conflicts to arise. It is all too easy for different interests, ideas or needs to clash. The decisive factor is always how conflicts are dealt with. This workshop analyses typical conflict situations, reflects on your own conflict behaviour and develops strategies for constructive, solution-oriented dialogue.

Dates for 2024
Quick-Wittedness and Argumentation Training for (Up-and-Coming) Female Scientists
Speaker: Andrea Dufner
Tuesday, May 14, 2024, from 09:00 to 16:30
To respond appropriately to questions such as "How can I assert and defend my position?" or "How do I handle inappropriate remarks or verbal attacks?", this workshop will focus on quick-wittedness and argumentation techniques while also strengthening individual confidence in one's communication. Participants will learn to develop and stabilize natural acceptance and conversational confidence, allowing them to set boundaries in rhetorical exchanges.
Confident Work and Action - How to Handle the Fear of Failure
Speaker: Ruth Dölemeyer
Thursday, 27.06.2024 from 09:00–12:30
Despite their extensive qualifications and previous successes, many women repeatedly experience strong doubts about their abilities. In this workshop, we will collectively examine the thought patterns and behaviors that sustain these doubts and develop realistic alternatives. The goal is for participants to recognize their abilities, view critical feedback as an opportunity for development rather than a sign of failure, and attribute their successes to themselves.
Seeing Beyond. Power Games and Micropolitical Competence in Science
Speaker: Dr. Sabrina Walter
Thursday, October 24, 2024, from 09:00 to 15:30
Work in the research context often comes with high performance pressure and competition. In this atmosphere, people are inclined to resort to micropolitical strategies and open power games. Based on their own experiences, participants in the workshop will receive impulses to better recognize power games in science, regain their own control and self-confidence, and respond confidently and strategically in everyday scientific work.
Confident Self-Presentation - Convincing Through Voice, Expression, and Body Language
Speaker: Nina Severin
Friday, November 8, 2024, from 10:00 to 17:00
In academia and professional settings, a convincing presence in presentations, lectures, and group settings is becoming increasingly important. Speaking in front of many people can be unsettling and pose various challenges. Therefore, the primary goal of this workshop is to provide participants with tangible tools to confidently, present, and master presentation situations with a clear, powerful voice.
