KHYS: Offene Sprechstunde zur Beratung/Open consultation hours
Geb. 30.96, Raum 116
Nachwuchsforschende werden mit verschiedenen Herausforderungen konfrontiert, die zu Konflikten führen können, zum Beispiel im Betreuungsverhältnis, innerhalb der Arbeitsgruppe, im Hinblick auf Finanzierungsfragen oder hinsichtlich des selbststrukturierten Arbeitens. Die herausfordernde Phase kann auch persönliche Probleme mit sich bringen. Sollten Sie sich in einer solchen oder ähnlichen Situation befinden, können Sie bei verschiedenen Anlaufstellen am KIT Unterstützung finden. Einen Überblick finden Sie auf unserer Webseite unter www.khys.kit.edu/Anlaufstellen.
Unter anderem bietet das Karlsruhe House of Young Scientists (KHYS) in der Regel jeden Donnerstag von 15:00 bis 17:00 Uhr eine offene Sprechstunde zur Beratung in Konfliktfällen an. Dort können Sie in einem geschützten Rahmen Ihre Situation darlegen. In dieser Erstberatung informieren und beraten wir Sie individuell, wie Sie mit herausfordernden Situationen und Konflikten umgehen können und verweisen ggf. an weitere Stellen. Gerne können Sie auch einen individuellen Beratungstermin (auch per MS Teams) vereinbaren. Jutta Klein-Hitpaß steht Ihnen für Fragen oder Terminabsprachen gerne zur Verfügung.
--- ENGLISH ---
Junior researchers face different challenges in their research period. These can lead to conflicts, for example concerning the supervising relationship, within a working group, regarding financing issues, or concerning self-structured working. This challenging phase can also lead to personal problems. Should you find yourself in such or similar situations, you can find support at various advisory offices at KIT. For an overview please refer to our website: https://www.khys.kit.edu/english/advisory-offices.php.
KHYS offers open consultation hours in principle every Thursday from 3 to 5 p.m. There you can safely discuss your situation. During this initial consultation, we offer information and advice on how to deal with challenging situations and conflicts. If applicable, we will refer you to other advisory offices. You are also welcome to make an appointment (also for an MS Teams meeting). Jutta Klein-Hitpaß will be happy to answer any questions you may have or to offer you an appointment.

Busting Jargon. Tactics for Comprehensible Communication in Science (two-day) [ONLINE WORKSHOP]
Online Seminar
Online
Dr. Stefan Götze, Karlsruhe House of Young Scientists (KHYS)
The event will be held in English and run for two days, on November 29, 2024 and December 6, 2024.
As a scientist, you regularly communicate your expertise to various audiences – not only to people from within your scientific community but also to collaborators from different fields, grant bodies, students, the general public. When writing for or speaking to others, however, you must overcome multiple obstacles for your message to be understood, such as peoples’ short attention span, differences in prior knowledge and ignorance about your technical language. If you do not design your communication with these barriers in mind, your ideas are unlikely to reach your intended audience.
To enable scientists sharing their knowledge with their diverse audiences, this workshop will introduce some versatile strategies for comprehensible communication. Learn, for example, how your topics can be portrayed so that they capture the attention of experts and non-experts alike and how you can effortlessly convey the meaning of discipline-specific concepts. As a result, your papers, posters and presentations will be readily understood.
We will also explore how recently introduced AI-powered chatbots such as ChatGTP can support you in designing comprehensible communication.

Neuer Termin: Von ORCID zu Bibliometrie. Meine Forschung sichtbar und messbar machen [ONLINE KOMPAKTWORKSHOP]
Online Seminar
Online
Maria Nüchter, KIT-Bibliothek
Wie können Sie sicherstellen, dass Ihre wissenschaftlichen Publikationen tatsächlich Ihnen als Autorin oder Autor zugeschrieben werden? Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftler eindeutig zu identifizieren und Publikationen richtig zuzuordnen kann schwierig sein, mit Hilfe von Autorenprofilen können Sie sicherstellen, dass Ihre Publikationen korrekt zugeordnet werden.
Akademisches Identitätsmanagement spielt auch bei der Messbarkeit ihrer Forschung eine Rolle. Bibliometrie hilft Ihnen dabei, den Einfluss Ihrer wissenschaftlichen Publikationen zu messen, zu vergleichen und zu kommunizieren. Sie bekommen einen Einblick in KITopen sowie weitere bibliometrische Datenbanken. Dabei erfahren Sie, wie die Zuordnung Ihrer Publikationen zu Ihrem Forschungsprofil und damit Sichtbarkeit und Einfluss Ihrer Forschungsergebnisse optimiert werden kann.
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 des Weiterbildungsprogramms aufrecht zu erhalten. Vielen Dank!

How to Advance Your Research Career and Get Funding (two-day) [ONLINE WORKSHOP]
Online Seminar
Online
Dr. Thomas Koch, academic futures – Research Management Consultancy
The event will be held in English and run for two days, on December 3 and 4, 2024.
Becoming a postdoc is a pivotal, yet highly selective career step towards research independence and tenure. Preparing for future research leadership, the workshop helps early career researchers to assess their current position, align career aspirations with longer-term research goals and develop a road map for achieving them in the individual setting. Practice scenarios provide guidance on how to exploit funding opportunities effectively to build resources and capabilities for further career advancement.
By participating in the workshop, you will be better equipped to:
take responsibility for your career and decision making, understand the critical success factors for a sustainable research career, apply strategic approaches to advance both your career and your research, design fundable projects for different research settings, identify and exploit funding opportunities, prepare effective grant proposals, develop yourself as a principal investigator.
This highly interactive workshop employs theoretical input, plenary discussions, individual and small group work, practice scenarios, experience sharing and expert advice. Pre-workshop activities account for varying levels of research experience and will be provided 10 days before the workshop. Please allow for an additional 3-4 hours to complete the activities.
Eligibility: This event is hosted by the KHYS Postdoc Office. Postdocs (who are members of KHYS) will therefore have priority for attending. Doctoral researchers, however, can still register and will be offered a spot if not all places are taken.
If you are currently not yet a member of KHYS, you can register here.
The event will be held in English and run for two days, on December 3 and 4, 2024.
