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 September 29 and October 6, 2025.
 
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.
 
Technical requirements: To participate in this event, you need a stable internet connection, a webcam and a microphone. Participants will receive further detailed information regarding the online-platform prior to the event.
 
The event will be held in English and run for two days, on September 29 and October 6, 2025.

Thesis Defence Training (two-day) [ON-SITE WORKSHOP]
Workshop
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)
Bldg. 50.41, seminar room 145/146 (1st floor) …
Alexander Roggenkamp

The event will be held in English and run for two days, on September 29 and 30, 2025.
 
The last big milestone in a PhD is the oral defense of the dissertation, which brings particular challenges in communication. This workshop is aimed at doctoral candidates, who want to engage in intensive preparation for their disputation.
Based on the individual experiences of the participants, presentation techniques and defense strategies are developed in the workshop. This includes appropriately interpreting scientific study results during the course of the disputation as well as adequately reacting to possibly critical questions in response.
Strategies for convincing argumentative as well as rhetorical positioning during the disputation are conveyed. The PhD candidates actively implement these in the most important part of the workshop – the disputation simulations. If required, managing stage fright and nervousness can also be addressed.
 
This event is open to doctoral researchers who are KHYS members

Getting Started. Die Promotion als Projekt (zweitägig) [ONLINE WORKSHOP]
Online Seminar
Online
Dr. Daniel Friedrich, Impulsplus

Die Veranstaltung findet auf Deutsch und an zwei Tagen statt, am 9. Oktober 2025, 9.00 – 17.00 Uhr und 10. Oktober 2025, 9.00 – 16.45 Uhr.
 
Der Weg zur Doktorarbeit steckt voller Herausforderungen. Doch wer sich von Anfang an eine kluge Herangehensweise überlegt, erreicht schneller seine Ziele und erhält bessere Ergebnisse. Der Workshop konzentriert sich auf die zentralen Stellschrauben für eine erfolgreiche Promotion: Welche Mindsets, Werkzeuge und Arbeitsprozesse machen einen echten Unterschied auf dem Weg zur Promotion? Dabei fokussieren wir uns auf drei Schlüsselbereiche für eine erfolgreiche Dissertation: Die effiziente Organisation von Aufgaben und Notizen, den produktiven Austausch mit der Forschungsgemeinschaft sowie das strukturierte Lesen und Verfassen von Texten. Für jeden Bereich reflektieren wir effektive Mindsets, Werkzeuge und Arbeitsabläufe. Ziel ist, dass jeder Teilnehmende mindestens drei Ideen mitnimmt, wie er/sie die eigene Herangehensweise substanziell verbessern kann.
 
Hauptthemen:
Projektmanagement Effizientes Zeit-Management und Selbstmotivation Gestaltung der Beziehung zu Ihrer Betreuungsperson Techniken und Methoden für eine effiziente Literaturrecherche & Notizenmanagement  
Wenn Sie über den Workshop hinaus eine Beratung zu persönlichen Herausforderungen oder Konfliktsituationen benötigen, können Sie sich an folgende Anlaufstellen wenden: https://www.khys.kit.edu/Anlaufstellen.php

The event will be held in English and run for two days, on October 15 and 29, 2025.
 
Young scientists like you often face an onslaught of daily challenges like teaching, research projects or administrative tasks. Given that academics are also often expected to be flexible and constantly available, it is only natural that you feel at times overwhelmed. Moreover, those many last-minute, short-term assignments often take precedence and can keep you distracted from more important, long-term goals and ambitions as well as your personal interests.
 
In order to keep your priorities in sight, you thus need a carefully thought-out time and self-management system. In this workshop, you will learn to set priorities and forge realistic plans in order to balance the demands of research and your personal life goals.
 
Workshop topics include:
Self-organization and self-motivation: increase productivity and efficiency Defining personal goals and setting priorities Establishing and/or optimizing daily and weekly planning Recognizing and using your individual performance curve Setting parameters for working effectively, maximizing efficiency Energy management and work-life balance In the workshop, theoretical foundations and models are discussed and reflected in individual and group work. After the first day participants receive practical exercises to work on at home in case they are interested in enhancing deeper understanding of the topics.
 
If you need guidance beyond the workshop on personal challenges or conflict situations, you can contact the following advisory offices: https://www.khys.kit.edu/english/advisory-offices.php
 
This event is open to doctoral researchers and postdocs at KIT who are KHYS members.
 
The event will be held in English and run for two days, on October 15 and 29, 2025.

Meine Forschung sichtbar und messbar machen: Wie geht das mit ORCID und Bibliometrie [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.
