Navigating Difficult Seas: Professional Communication and Conflict Management (06.03./13.03./20.03./03.04.2025)
Communication and conflict competence are key elements of professionalism and important factors for personal and professional success. This online workshop supports participants in advocating their own positions as well as role- or project-related positions in conflictual situations.
Typical areas of conflict in academia are, for example, the structure and dynamic of supervisory relationships, working conditions, the attribution of authorships for joint publications and the definition of research fields vis-à-vis (former) supervisors.
How can a clear position be combined with a respectful attitude in challenging situations? The seminar offers participants an initial insight into professional negotiation and conflict resolution as well as the opportunity to try out specific situations and develop effective strategies in a playful way.
