14.11.2026 - Research in International Teams 鈥 Improve your Intercultural Competences
This workshop is all about intercultural communication and the key to successful research work with colleagues from all over the world. It is a great opportunity for international PhDs to learn more about the German way of communication and doing research but it is also important for German doctoral candidates who, although doing research in Germany, will have to work with people from all over the world. The workshop is nothing like a 鈥渂oring鈥 presentation but rather a pleasant sharing of experiences and searching for strategies on how to work best in an international environment.
The workshop is led by a intercultural trainer who has spent a lot of time abroad herself and has been running workshops at the International Office for many years. Participants in her workshop can not only improve their intercultural skills, but also learn a lot about themselves.
Venue: International Office
Language: English
Time: 10 am - 3 pm
