Dialogue – Science Meets Business
RAR's Dialogue brings together doctoral researchers and a leading expert from the world of business for an informal exchange on current career issues and social developments over lunch.
What does Dialogue offer you?
This annual format offers you the opportunity to discuss current career-relevant topics and trends in business and society with a distinguished personality. You will also gain first-hand insight into the activities, strategies and decision-making processes of well-known companies and institutions.
The informal and rather personal setting of the meetings allows for an intensive discussion. Please bring your questions with you! The participating business representatives are very much interested in an open dialogue and in your individual opinion.
Who can participate?
Dialogue welcomes doctoral researchers of all disciplines of Ruhr-Universität Bochum, TU Dortmund University and the University of Duisburg-Essen. As we would like to provide you with a chance of a personal contact to our guest, we limit the number of participants to 20 persons.
The event is usually conducted in German, but you are welcome to participate with questions in English.
Next date: The Dialogue will take place on 19 November 2020 at Ruhr-Universität Bochum. Our guest will be Michael Guggemos, Managing Director of the Hans Böckler Foundation.
Work 4.0 - How is digitalization changing the working environment?
It has been a topic for a long time but the Corona crisis has turned it into an immediate and a very tangible experience: Digitalization is one of the major aspects of the present and future professional world and is being discussed strongly in politics, business, and science.
On 19 November 2020, we invite doctoral researchers to discuss with our guest Michael Guggemos what exactly constitutes this change and try to put it into a temporal perspective. What do postdoctoral researchers have to prepare for? How is the job market changing and what does this mean for you and your work? How can you sharpen your profile and what opportunities does digitalization offer?
Michael Guggemos is Managing Director of the Hans Böckler Foundation.
Information on registration will be available in good time.
