With the arrival of ChatGPT, a powerful and versatile tool has become available for knowledge workers. This workshop is designed to introduce early-career researchers to potential applications of ChatGPT (and related platforms) in their daily work and to familiarize them with essential principles for its effective use.
 
Key Topics include:
Ideation: Discover how ChatGPT can aid in generating ideas for problem-solving Writing: Learn how ChatGPT can ease drafting and editing documents as well as adapting your messages to different audiences. Teaching: Explore how ChatGPT can assist in course development, instructional activities, and supporting learners.  
In addition to these core areas, participants will gain insights into general principles for creating effective prompts (i.e., prompt engineering) that can be applied across various domains. By the end of the workshop, participants will thereby have acquired valuable skills that can significantly enhance their work efficiency and productivity.
 
This event is open to doctoral researchers and postdocs at KIT who are KHYS members.

Die Veranstaltung zeigt die verschiedenen Services der KIT-Bibliothek rund um das wissenschaftliche Publizieren von Texten, Lehrmaterialien, Dissertationen und Forschungsdaten.
 
Die Anforderungen an die Wissenschaftskommunikation gehen verstärkt in Richtung von Open Access und Open Science. Mittlerweile verlangen auch viele Forschungsförderer, dass von ihnen geförderte Forschungsergebnisse möglichst unmittelbar weltweit zugänglich gemacht werden. Das wissenschaftliche Publikationswesen befindet sich weltweit in einem Transformationsprozess, der es für Forschende nicht immer leicht macht, den Überblick über Services und Förderfonds zu erhalten. Die Veranstaltung geht auf aktuelle Entwicklungen rund um das Thema Open Access ein und stellt die wichtigsten Open-Access-Publikationsservices der KIT-Bibliothek vor (darunter Repository KITopen, KIT-Verlag sowie den KIT-Publikationsfonds).
 
Die Veranstaltung richtet sich an Promovierende und Postdocs am KIT (Mitglieder des KHYS).
 
Technische Anforderungen: Um an dieser Veranstaltung teilzunehmen, benötigen Sie eine stabile Internetverbindung, eine Webcam und ein Mikrofon. Weitere detaillierte Informationen zur Online-Plattform erhalten die Teilnehmenden vor der Veranstaltung.
 
Bitte melden Sie sich frühzeitig per E-Mail ab, wenn Sie nicht an einer Veranstaltung teilnehmen können. Damit können Personen von der Warteliste nachrücken und Sie helfen uns, die Qualität der Veranstaltungen aufrecht zu erhalten. Vielen Dank!

As part of a personal roadmap, you have the opportunity to consciously reflect on your current professional and private situation. You will look at your personal goals and wishes and derive concrete steps for your further career and skills development.
 
What have I already achieved? What skills particularly characterize me? What are my strengths? What is important to me? How do I visualize a successful future?
 
The first aim of the event is to take a closer look at the current status quo and generate an understanding of your present situation. Taking stock in this way will help you to take a focused approach to your life and career planning, create a basis for reflection for your longer-term professional and private decisions and work on your individual areas of development in a targeted manner. 
 
In this way, you can develop goals for your further career planning from a holistic perspective and derive the first specific steps.
 
Please note that a career assessment cannot provide individual career counselling. KHYS offers the following workshops for further career planning:
After the Doctorate. Career Planning for Doctoral Researchers How to Shape Your Future. Career Planning for Postdocs  
This event is open to doctoral researchers and postdocs at KIT who are KHYS members.
