Title: Hydro-ecological conditions in a remote, mountainous region of Mongolia

Speaker: Lucas Menzel, Heidelberg University

Learn how to clearly communicate complicated concepts while talking to different crowds.

Learn how to turn your research into compelling stories that spark curiosity, connect with audiences, and leave a lasting impression

Imposter syndrome is a widespread phenomenon in academia, but what is it and how can you avoid being impeded by it? 

Do you struggle with the writing process, have a paper you are currently working on, or just want to get a little better at academic writing? This is the workshop for you! This workshop will focus on a few essential skills in writing research papers: crafting a coherent argument for your paper, articulating it, and ensuring that it comes out clearly through your writing.

Should you focus on publishing in high impact journals or on data sharing? In this talk, we will present a changing assessment system that introduces new ways of rewarding and recognizing academic work around the world.

Why does climate action so often take socially regressive and ecologically destructive forms?

Doctoral candidate Robin Benjamin Zweigel at the Department of Geosciences, Faculty of Mathematics and Natural Sciences, is defending the thesis Ecosystem controls on ground temperatures in Mongolia - Field observations and numerical modelling for the degree of Philosophiae Doctor.

Join us for an engaging conversation with distinguished alumni as they share insights, career journeys, and practical advice for the next generation. Hear how their experiences shaped their paths — and get a straight answer to a common question: do you really have to become a professor to succeed?

This talk is about the skills needed to give a good presentation. I focus especially on certain aspects of public speaking that we academics often overlook, including public speaking aversion and anxiety, preparations, the use of voice and body, as well as the difference between writing and speaking.

Lunch will be served from 12:00 PM to 12:45 PM

This session dives into how key design principles can transform the clarity and impact of your presentations. We’ll explore visual hierarchy, layout, spacing, alignment, and how to reduce clutter so your core message stands out. You’ll learn how design cues guide attention, how images support understanding, and how small design choices change what your audience notices and remembers.

By the end, you’ll be able to structure your slides, so they work with you, not against you.
