  • ENGAGE.EU Online Training: Beyond the Deadline: Managing Academic Pressure and Prioritizing Well-Being

    ENGAGE.EU Online Training: Beyond the Deadline: Managing Academic Pressure and Prioritizing Well-Being

    27 and 28 May, 09:30–12:30

    Academia is an ultramarathon that we try to run as a sprint. This approach tends to leave us with little time or energy for life outside of work and very few resources to cope when we face challenges. But a healthier approach to research is possible and is essential if you want to build a sustainable career in academia.

    Despite our increasing diversity, academics tend to harbour a common chorus of voices in our heads. Voices that demand perfection, or that tell us we aren’t good enough and we don’t belong here; voices that have driven us to excel, but that also charge a pretty high tax. A tax on our emotional, mental and physical health.

    Yes, the environment is a heavy contributor to the unhealthy, counterproductive lifestyle many of us live. However, we as individuals can address the way we approach academia to buffer us against stress and burnout, worry and fear, and the toxic competition we are often surrounded by.

    This workshop provides you with tools to increase your resilience to stress, anxiety and burnout, and to enhance your overall well-being.

    We explore:

    • The self-critical inner voices that sabotage your motivation and enjoyment for your work; 
    • How your mindset can help or hinder your day-to-day life and your future career prospects;
    • How certain maladaptive coping strategies (e.g. procrastination and avoidance) maintain these self-sabotaging thought and behaviour cycles.
    • How to reshape your thinking and behaviour patterns to work for you in pursuit of your goals.

    Date and time
    27 and 28 May from 9:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.

    Format
    Online: 4 LIVE sessions & 3 video learning modules, run over two half-day sessions

    Our ZLL Offer for You

    Transformational competence is defined as a prerequisite for achieving the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Transformational competence encompasses a well-defined and scientifically grounded range of skills, action strategies, knowledge, and comprehensive in- sights to thrive in a complex and constantly changing environment and to create a good present for a liveable future.

    University educators are particularly challenged here: On the one hand, they make an essential contribution to the personal development of the younger generation through teaching, supervising qualification theses, and leading staff. On the other hand, through their research, they promote a society with future-oriented technology, sustainable (trade) relations, and social stability.

    The program KPI: Transformation! for professors focuses on the Inner Development Goals (see IDG) as a basis and framework for exploring and shaping personal development as a university educator.

    We individually and in collegial exchange, develop a well-founded assessment of your current situation within the university system and offer space for shaping your vision for the future:

    • Where do you see yourself in the future?
    • In which areas do you want to invest in your development

    Procedure

    The joint kick-off workshop at the beginning provides an overview of the 5 dimensions of transformational competence for sustainable development. Here, the focus is primarily on the joint and individual reflection of your current situation at the university. You will sharpen your understanding of the complexity of your roles and their relationships in everyday university life. This, together with your personality profile, forms the basis for reviewing your teaching and research routine for opportunities and possibilities to align your actions with integrity, authenticity, and effectiveness and to identify individual development areas.

    Language

    The workshop can take place in German or English.

    Registration

    Seats are limited. To register, please send an email by May 27, 2025, to Anne Scheuing (anne.scheuing@uni-mannheim.de). Seats will be allocated based on the date of receipt.

    Junior professors are requested to indicate their preferred date of attendance.

    All interested parties must also indicate at the time of registration whether they would prefer the workshop in German, English, or if both languages are suitable for them.

  • ENGAGE.EU workshop: Design thinking methods: Ideation and prototyping

    Entrepreneurial thinking does not start with a business plan. We aim for a more playful approach by asking you: How much startup is in research? In this workshop, you will experiment with two design thinking techniques: Ideation and prototyping. Discover these user-centric methods to yield ideas and develop them further.

    Ideation
    You have been working on your research for a while, but haven't figured out how to translate it into a concrete business idea? Or maybe you have many ideas and cannot decide which one to follow? Based on the design thinking approach, you will try out different ideation techniques. You will learn what makes a good idea and how to formulate it for testing.

    Learning objectives:

    • Understand a problem as a basis for innovative ideation
    • Get to know different brainstorming methods and test them
    • Generate, evaluate and select ideas


    Prototyping
    How much startup is in your research and what does the product of this startup look like if you realize it with the help of paper, stapler, and dry noodles? You will become familiar with design thinking methods and practice rapid prototyping, together with other young and creative researchers. This way, you will playfully discover the entrepreneurial potential of your doctoral or postdoctoral research project.

    Learning objectives:

    • Learn about the problem-solution fit and critical function of an idea
    • Get to know different types of prototypes
    • Train your creativity and spontaneity

    Date and time
    14 October from 9:00 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. (incl. lunch break)

  • HDZ-Workshop: Studien- und Abschlussarbeiten betreuen – lerngerecht und alltagstauglich

    Protokolle, Praktikumsberichte, längere Haus-/Seminararbeiten, z. T. verbunden mit einem Exposé, bis hin zur Anfertigung von Bachelor- und Masterarbeiten: Die Anforderungen an Studierende, wissenschaftliche Texte zu schreiben, sind – was Quantität und Qualität angeht – in den Fächern sehr unterschiedlich. Die Erfahrungen vieler (häufig frustrierter) Lehrender und auch Studien zur Entwicklung wissenschaftlicher Denk- und Schreibfähigkeiten zeigen: Die Prämisse, Studierende seien grundsätzlich und bereits ab dem Studienbeginn in der Lage, „wissenschaftliche Arbeiten“ zu schreiben, trifft in vielen Fällen nicht zu.
    Aus dieser Situation ergeben sich, vor allem bei Abschlussarbeiten, ein hoher Betreuungsbedarf und eine Verantwortung von Lehrenden für eine lerngerechte Betreuung. Es stellen sich engagierten
    Lehrenden zwei Fragen:

    • Wie kann und will ich meine Studierenden bei ihrem Schreibprozess unterstützen?
    • Wie kann dabei ein „alltagstauglicher“ Weg aussehen, um z. B. den eigenen Aufwand für eine gute Betreuung nicht beliebig zu steigern?

    Die Teilnehmenden werden im Workshop ihr Betreuungskonzept (weiter-)entwickeln und – als praktisches Produkt – einen individuellen Betreuungsleitfaden erarbeiten. Ziel ist es, Transparenz herzustellen – z. B. im Hinblick auf inhaltliche und formale Anforderungen – und für Entlastung zu sorgen. Im Workshop geht es um

    • eine Optimierung von Organisation und Verlauf der Betreuung,
    • die Beurteilungskriterien,
    • Art und Ausmaß der Betreuung, also um das Betreuungsverhältnis (z. B. in Bezug auf den Umgang mit Entwürfen, um Rückmeldungen oder um die Frage von Verantwortlichkeiten und Rollen).

    Dabei arbeiten wir immer mit dem Blick auf die fachspezifischen Gegebenheiten und Unterschiede und auf die Alltagstauglichkeit der Ideen. Die Teilnehmenden sind nach dem Workshop in der Lage,

    • ihre konkreten Anforderungen an wissenschaftliche Arbeiten (und damit auch ihre Beurteilungskriterien) zu formulieren und zu kommunizieren,
    • wesentliche Bausteine für einen Betreuungsleitfaden zu entwickeln,
    • Techniken und Materialien einzusetzen, mit denen sie Studierende bei der Erstellung wissenschaftlicher Arbeiten unterstützen können,
    • hilfreiches Feedback so zu geben, dass selbstverantwortliches Lernen gefördert wird.

    Der Kurs ist für das „Baden-Württemberg Zertifikat für Hochschul­didaktik“ anrechenbar.

    Termine

  • HDZ-Workshop: Evaluation mal anders: Besser und entspannter lehren durch eine zielgerichtete und bewusste Lehrevaluation

    Lehrevaluationen sind an den Fakultäten fest verankerte Prozesse und werden in der Regel durch standardisierte Fragebögen realisiert. Darüber hinaus ist es für alle Beteiligten sinnvoll, regelmäßig Rückmeldung zu ausgesuchten Aspekten einer Lehrveranstaltung zu erhalten oder zu geben. Dies gilt in einem besonderen Maße für Maßnahmen der formativen Lehrevaluation, die im Prozess und nicht nur am Ende einer Veranstaltung stattfinden.
    Thema dieses Workshops ist es, die an Universitäten durchgeführte Evaluationspraxis auf Grundlage der Evaluationsforschung kritisch zu hinterfragen und um alternative Formen der Lehrevaluation zu ergänzen. Neben den in diesem Kontext bekannten Methoden aus der Präsenzlehre wie „Parkspaziergang“ oder „Fünf-Finger-Methode“ werden auch Varianten der Online-Evaluation vorgestellt und diskutiert.
    Ziel des Workshops ist es, einen „Methoden-Werkzeugkasten“ an die Hand zu bekommen, um mit Hilfe der Studierenden Lehrsituationen und Lehrprozesse zu reflektieren und gegebenenfalls zukunftsorientiert zu hinterfragen. Gerade formative Lehrevaluationen geben Lehrenden die Chance, die positiven Aspekte ihrer Lehre zu sichern und zugleich ihre Lehrveranstaltung und Lehrpraxis kontinuierlich weiterzuentwickeln.

    Der Kurs ist für das „Baden-Württemberg Zertifikat für Hochschul­didaktik“ anrechenbar.
