[Wshop] Conflict and Negotiation Management (24GGN21)
: In any environment, people follow different interests. The conflict between these interests is unavoidable, but conflicting interests are not necessarily a problem. Conflicts are crucial for any organization that wants to develop. They draw attention to problems which require solutions – be it social, managerial or scientific solutions.
This seminar introduces different models of conflict management. The models show that conflicts can be understood in many different ways.
The seminar also provides tools and practices to detect conflicts at a very early stage, when they are still manageable. Participants will learn and practice to use these tools for detecting and solving conflicts in a competent and solution-oriented way.

[Wshop] Graphic Design for Scientists (25GGN03)
Graphic design is increasingly important to scientists. A nicely presented graphic can make detailed information easier to understand, or more appealing. Or simply provide a ‘way in’ for a different audience.
Join Graphic Designer Neil Smith for this 1.5 day course and learn more about how to visually present your science, from simple graphs and schematics to graphic abstracts and posters. You will have an introduction to graphic design and learn simple tips to improve your figures, with examples of good (and bad) presented.
You will also recieve an introduction to Adobe Illustrator, the industry standard software used to design figures at the top publishing houses.
