Workshop topics
During registration you will have to choose two out of three available workshops. You can choose between the following topics:
Publishing Workshop
“Behind the scenes of the publishing process”
Trainer: Mary Williams (University of Glasgow)
Short description of content:
Much of the work of a scientist is communicated by their peer-review publications, which are also often the main criteria used by granting agencies and universities to measure scientific “success”. To a newcomer, the scholarly publishing process can be confusing and intimidating. In this workshop, you’ll learn some tips to help you navigate the process, from writing your manuscript beautifully to deciding where to submit your research article, what to say in the cover letter, and how to respond to peer review.
Science communication Workshop
“Science communication”
Trainer: Svenja Augustin (CEPLAS) and Robert Hoffie (IPK)

Scientists are becoming increasingly aware of science communication and its importance is growing. But do all scientists need to communicate with the general public? In this workshop we want to discuss what scicomm is, where it starts, what formats are possible and if and how every scientist can become active in this field.
