Training

Six seminars and training sessions on issues of specific interest to academics complement the participants' promotion via mentoring. The seminars support the female scholars in planning their careers and preparing for future appointment procedures.

The participants obtain more profound knowledge about leadership and management tasks associated with a professorship, they get to know professional leadership techniques and develop their strategic competence. Further important topics are the challenges of reform processes and current forms of higher education management, opportunities to influence higher education policy and the acquisition of third-party funding.

Round table discussions with experts from universities, scientific organisations and other relevant institutions are an integral part of the seminars in order to enhance the transfer of experience and knowledge as well as networking.

Sechs wissenschaftsspezifisch ausgerichtete Kompaktseminare ergänzen die Beratung und Förderung der Teilnehmerinnen im Rahmen des Mentorings. In den Seminaren werden die Wissenschaftlerinnen bei ihrer Karriereplanung unterstützt und können sich auf künftige Berufungsverfahren vorbereiten.

Sie können ihr Wissen über Führungs- und Managementanforderungen einer Professur vertiefen, professionelle Führungstechniken kennen lernen und ihre strategischen Kompetenzen weiterentwickeln. Wichtige Themen sind schließlich die Herausforderungen des Reformprozesses und die aktuellen Formen des Hochschulmanagements, hochschul- und wissenschaftspolitische Gestaltungschancen und die Drittmittelakquise.

Gesprächsrunden mit Expert*innen aus Universitäten, Wissenschaftsorganisationen und anderen relevanten Institutionen bilden einen integralen Bestandteil der Seminare, um den Erfahrungs- und Wissenstransfer und die Vernetzung intensiv zu fördern.
