As a young researcher, you often take on leadership tasks for the first time – in your current position or in the course of your next career step. Being new to a leadership role can be challenging in itself while experiences might differ in terms of gender and personality.
This workshop will support you as a young leader to build a good understanding of what it means to establish a successful leadership style. Motivation, flexibility and transparency regarding communication and delegation are key factors to meet the demands of your role as a leader. An awareness of your inner attitude, self-reflection and a conscious development of your role with its various conditions help to create value in a positive and sustainable manner.
Which mindset enables you to fulfill the role as a leader convincingly? What are your expectations of your team members and what are their expectations of you as a leader? Where do you find yourself in terms of “command and control” versus “confidence in the ability of your members to organize themselves” and fulfill their tasks? Alongside these general leadership topics, it will be helpful to discuss if there are specific challenges or chances as a female or male leader and how to deal with them.
We will explore the following contents:
• Basics of Leadership
• Mindful Leadership
• Management by objectives
• 4 roles of effective leadership and their principles
• Agile Leadership
• Skillful Delegation
• Identification of your key traits and values as a leader
• Gender-specific aspects of Leadership
There will be short inputs, group discussions, exercises, exploration of challenging leadership situations and reflection of your personal leadership style.

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.

Giving Your Arguments the Persuasive Edge (One-day) [Online Workshop] X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:
The event will be held in English and run for one day, on May 4, 2026.
As a scientist, you are constantly competing for attention—whether you are presenting your research to the public, applying for funding, or positioning yourself for the next career step. In these moments, expertise alone rarely sets you apart. Your competitors are often just as capable, and facts or logic while essential, seldom carry the persuasive weight needed to truly engage an audience.
What makes the difference is how your message feels. Your arguments need a communicative fabric that sparks curiosity and creates emotional resonance. This is where storytelling becomes a powerful professional skill. Elements from fictional and non-fictional story-telling help you frame your ideas in ways that are memorable, relatable, and motivating – while remaining aligned with academic standards.
This workshop introduces core storytelling principles and illustrates how scientists can apply them to various communication situations.
We will also explore how Generative AI chatbots such as ChatGPT can support the transfer and application of storytelling principles to your communication tasks.
This event is open to doctoral researchers and postdocs at KIT who are KHYS members. If you are currently not yet a member of KHYS, you can register here.
The event will be held in English and run for one day, on May 4, 2026.
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.
We generally expect participants to attend throughout the entire duration of the event.
If you are unable to attend an event, please inform us promptly via e-mail. This way you are allowing your colleagues the opportunity to participate and you help us to maintain the quality of our Further Education Program. Thank you!

Stresskompetenz im Wissenschaftsalltag (zweitägig) [Präsenz Workshop] X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:Die Veranstaltung findet auf Deutsch und an zwei Tagen statt, am 7. und 20. Mai 2026, jeweils 9:00 - 15:00 Uhr.
Stressmanagement ist heutzutage eine wichtige Kompetenz, um gesund und ausgeglichen die vielfältigen beruflichen und privaten Aufgaben und Anforderungen zu bewältigen. Gerade im Wissenschaftsalltag sind die Anforderungen und Erwartungen besonders hoch. Vielleicht fühlen Sie sich manchmal erschöpft oder angespannt und möchten gelassener durch die Promotion oder die Postdoc-Phase und Ihr Forschungsprojekt gehen – oder wollen einfach nur potenziellen Stressbelastungen und ihren Auswirkungen vorbeugen. Um gestärkt durch den Wissenschaftsalltag zu gehen, sind neben fachlicher Expertise und hoher Motivation auch eine gewisse Stressresistenz, ein gutes Selbstmanagement und ein Gleichgewicht zwischen Anspannung und Entspannung wichtig. Schon kleine Veränderungen können viel bewegen, wie beispielsweise innere Ansprüche zu hinterfragen, Energieräuber zu identifizieren und die persönliche Motivation, Selbstwirksamkeit und Produktivität zu steigern. Dieser Workshop bietet Ihnen ein abwechslungsreiches Angebot aus Informationen, Selbstreflexionen und praktischen Übungen zur Entwicklung der persönlichen Stresskompetenz.
Die Themenschwerpunkte sind:
Nach dem ersten Termin erhalten die Teilnehmenden Aufgaben zur Vertiefung, die zu Hause bearbeitet werden können.
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.e du/Anlaufstellen.php
Die Veranstaltung richtet sich an Promovierende und Postdocs am KIT (Mitglieder des KHYS). Wenn Sie derzeit noch kein Mitglied bei KHYS sind, können Sie sich hier registrieren.

The oral defense of the dissertation marks the final milestone of a PhD and poses unique communication challenges. This workshop is designed for doctoral candidates who wish to prepare intensively for their disputation.
Drawing on the participants’ individual experiences, the workshop focuses on developing effective presentation techniques and defense strategies. Participants learn how to interpret and present scientific findings clearly and how to respond confidently and appropriately to critical questions.
Key strategies for persuasive argumentation and rhetorical positioning during the defense are introduced and actively practiced in disputation simulations, which form the core of the workshop. If desired, the session can also address methods for managing stage fright and nervousness.

The event will be held in English.
Doctoral researchers need statistical methods in many areas of their daily research work, for example when they plan experiments or analyze existing data sets. This online event features a 60-minute talk, followed by an open discussion. The talk provides a high-level overview of questions that statistics can help address, including causal inference and prediction. It then presents resources (such as textbooks, software and academic journals) for learning about and implementing statistical methods. While the talk does not dive into the details of any particular method, it intends to help doctoral researchers navigate the abundance of available resources, and to provide a starting point for those new to the field.
In the discussion, participants will
explore how statistics relates to their own research areas. Possible
themes include: What data are central to your field? What questions
drive your discipline, and how might statistical approaches help answer
them?
If you want to learn more about statistical methods after this talk, you can register for our e-learning-course: h ttps://www.khys.kit.edu/veranstaltungskalender.php/event/60752
This event is open to doctoral researchers and postdocs at KIT who are KHYS members. If you are currently not yet a member of KHYS, you can register here.
The event will be held in English.
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.
We generally expect participants to attend throughout the entire duration of the event.
If you are unable to attend an event, please inform us promptly via e-mail. This way you are allowing your colleagues the opportunity to participate and you help us to maintain the quality of our Further Education Program. Thank you!

Engaging the Listener in Your Talk (Two-day) [Online Workshop] X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:The event will be held in English and run for two days, on June 22 and 23, 2026, from 9 a.m. to 4:30 p.m each.
For young scientists, it is a regular and important task to present their work to others. At the same time, however, to persuasively communicate one’s ideas to colleagues or decision-making bodies is often considered challenging. Yet, being a good speaker is often just question of developing a set of skills and techniques such as the use of voice and body language, an effective presentation structure and the dynamic use of language.
This workshop provides participants the opportunity to improve their conference presentation skills. Throughout the two-day workshop, participants will be guided through interactive exercises to improve verbal and nonverbal communication, improve the ability to listen and react generously, and to integrate focusing techniques, which empower the speaker. Attention will also be given to structural and language aspects to improve clarity and flow of the talk.
Contents in Brief
• Crafting an impactful opening
• Engaging the audience throughout the talk
• Affirming the strengths and individual style of the speaker
• Tips to work with body language and voice
• Structuring tools

Publications of research results is the currency in modern science. It might not be your favourite occupation, but it is a decisive one, strongly determining your future research and career opportunities. In this course, you will be introduced to the process of writing a scientific paper. In order to deepen and apply this knowledge, you will also actually produce a manuscript based on your research data (and one that might serve as the foundation for a journal submission). Questions about other forms of text like conference papers can also be discussed.
A-Z of scientific writing
Please note: Given that this is a hands-on workshop, you need some (analyzed) data to serve as the foundation for a journal article. Please also bring some scientific texts you wrote (e.g., Bachelor or Master thesis, and any published or upcoming papers) to the workshop.
This event is open to doctoral researchers and postdocs at KIT who are KHYS members. If you are currently not yet a member of KHYS, you can register here.

How to Design and Communicate your Research Project Convincingly for Funding Bodies (Four sessions) [Online Workshop] X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:The event will be held in English and run for four days, on June 29 & 30 and on July 6 & 7, 2026.
Developing successful grant applications is an essential skill for a career in research. In this workshop you will learn tools and background information that, on the one hand, will help you to efficiently develop your research idea into a research project which matches your target funding program and, on the other hand, to write it up in a grant proposal of high quality. We will also discuss opportunities and limitations of integrating AI into the proposal writing process.
Objectives:
Methods:
Please note: Participants who enter the workshop with an idea for a research project will benefit the most from its program. The idea may be newly developed, or you have been thinking about it for quite some time. The workshop envisages that you will ideally continue to work on your proposal between the workshop sessions. Please plan time for this accordingly. However, a prior project idea is not a pre-requisite for successfully participating.
We will have optional homework, so please plan additional time between the sessions for further developing your building blocks for a grant proposal.
Eligibility: This event is mainly aimed at postdocs, however, it is also open to interested doctoral researchers at KIT. Both have to be members of KHYS. If you are currently not yet a member of KHYS, you can register here.
The event will be held in English and run for four days, on June 29 & 30 and on July 6 & 7, 2026.

Initial Insights into Leadership [E-LEARNING] X-ALT-DESC;FMTTYPE=text/html:A career in industry is an attractive option for many young scientists after completing their doctorate or postdoc phase. And quite a few actually choose to leave academia with the aspiration of entering responsible positions in the private sector.
However, given that employees in private enterprises often are required to both pursue different goals and work differently compared to employees in research institutions, scientists need to adopt different mindsets and competences for succeeding in a business environment. In addition to specialist professional knowledge, transferrable skills in the areas of management methods, leadership and communication are particularly required.
To give you a head start for a successful career entry in the private sector, this e-learning program provides initial insights into key competences specifically for the business context. A selection of short online courses examines a variety of relevant topics, taking examples from everyday business life as their starting point. Apart from conveying theoretical background information they offer practical advice and provide suggestions for exercises and self-reflexion. Competences acquired by working thouroughly on these e-learnings can also be helpful for similar tasks in other than industrial work contexts, of course.
We have three modules in our Short-Cuts to Industry Program: Management Methods - Leadership - Communication. Depending on your personal needs, you can choose one course per module (they are offered in English, German or other languages) and compile them into your personal self-learning programme. Get fit for a career in industry! Below you can register for the Leadership module.

In addition to specialist professional knowledge, transferrable skills in the areas of management methods, leadership and communication are particularly required.
To give you a head start for a successful career entry in the private sector, this e-learning program provides initial insights into key competences specifically for the business context. A selection of short online courses examines a variety of relevant topics, taking examples from everyday business life as their starting point. Apart from conveying theoretical background information they offer practical advice and provide suggestions for exercises and self-reflexion. Competences acquired by working thouroughly on these e-learnings can also be helpful for similar tasks in other than industrial work contexts, of course.
We have three modules in our Short-Cuts to Industry Program: Management Methods - Leadership - Communication. Depending on your personal needs, you can choose one course per module (they are offered in English, German or other languages) and compile them into your personal self-learning programme. Get fit for a career in industry! Below you can register for the Management Methods module.

Shut Up and Write! – Structured Writing Time for Docs and Postdocs
Writing is essential to academic success, yet finding uninterrupted time for focused work can be challenging in the busy life of a young researcher. Shut up and write! offers young researchers at KIT a quiet, structured space to make real progress on their writing—whether it’s a paper, grant proposal, or other academic text. Each session comprises 90 minutes. Every other week there will be a short 15-minute input by the instructor on topics such as writing strategies, time management, or overcoming blocks. After this, you have time and space to work on your text in peace and quiet. In our teaching weeks, we also offer individual 35-minute one-on-one coaching sessions booked with the instructor to discuss writing challenges, receive feedback, or seek advice on structure and clarity. The rest of the group writes quietly during this time.
This course is not a comprehensive introduction to academic writing, but rather a space to strengthen personal writing habits, receive tailored guidance, and build momentum through structured practice.
Participants will leave with a clearer sense of their own writing process, new tools for staying productive, and meaningful progress on their current project. No preparation is required—just bring your own writing project and get started.

Publications of research results is the currency in modern science. It might not be your favourite occupation, but it is a decisive one, strongly determining your future research and career opportunities. In this course, you will be introduced to the process of writing a scientific paper. In order to deepen and apply this knowledge, you will also actually produce a manuscript based on your research data (and one that might serve as the foundation for a journal submission). Questions about other forms of text like conference papers can also be discussed.
A-Z of scientific writing
Please note: Given that this is a hands-on workshop, you need some (analyzed) data to serve as the foundation for a journal article. Please also bring some scientific texts you wrote (e.g., Bachelor or Master thesis, and any published or upcoming papers) to the workshop.

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.
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:
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 and develop new personal strategies.
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

Writing a doctoral thesis is very challenging. But if you take a smart approach early on, you are likely to reach your objectives faster and achieve superior results. This workshop focuses on the critical elements for a successful doctoral journey: Which mindsets, tools, and processes make a real difference on the way to a PhD? We concentrate on three areas: The efficient organization of tasks and notes, the productive communication with supervisors and the research community, and the structured reading and writing of academic papers. In each area, we will reflect on effective mindsets, tools, and workflows. The goal is for each participant to take away at least three specific ideas on how to substantially improve their own approach.
Major topics:
- Project management
- Efficient time management and self-motivation
- Managing the relationship to your supervisor
-
Tools and strategies for effective literature
