The workshop offer of the Research Academy Ruhr for all postdocs & the junior faculty of the UA Ruhr in the summer semester 2025 has been published. Registration for all offers is now open. As places are limited, we recommend registering early. 

In the coming semester, we will again be offering a comprehensive workshop program for postdocs from all disciplines in the following subject areas:

• Careers inside and outside academia
• Leadership, supervision and management skills
• Communicating, networking, negotiating
• Acquiring third-party funding

Supported by professional trainers, you will have the opportunity to develop strategies for dealing with the challenges of your future research activities. In addition, participation in the workshops offers the opportunity to exchange ideas and network with postdocs from all universities in the UA Ruhr. You can find the complete program here.  

Networking and exchange are also essential components of our offer for the Junior Faculty. Our program deals thematically with various challenges for the career goal of professorship and serves, for example, to prepare for the appointment procedure. In addition, each member of the Junior Faculty can take advantage of an one on one individual coaching session on topics such as appointment, strategic career planning, leadership or supervision (duration 1 hour). Further information on our offer for the Junior Faculty can be found here.
