March-June 2016 Soft skill: Intercultural communication and Chinese

Intercultural communication and intensive Chinese language training had been organized by the TRR60 for our female scientists for a period of 4 months with weekly lessons. The course enabled the participants to prepare for the standardized HSK-level 1 tests offered by the Confucius Institutes. Apart from basic language skills the most important aim was to strenghten the soft skills in the intercultural echange with our Chinese colleagues. The ideal outcome is if participants decide to go abroad to China for a longer period of time and continue their research work in the Chinese TRR60 groups.

Open places in the course had been offerred to students of the Medical Faculty who prepare for their internships at our partner universities in Wuhan, Shanghai and Guangzhou and for their practical year with destination Wuhan.

2015 Soft skill seminars for female TRR60 doctoral students and postdocs

These seminars are funded by DFG in order to promote gender equality and support female scientists in their carreer. Our programme is exclusively designed for the needs of our TRR60 female scientists and doctoral students. The TRR60 closely cooperates with the ZfH Zentrum für Hoschulentwicklung of the University of Duisburg-Essen in organizing these seminars.
