How to create a solid pitch for job opportunities or academic advancement
An elevator pitch is a brief description of yourself and/or your research. It should be so short that you have enough time to give an impression of yourself, while also being short, preferably no more than 30-60 seconds. It is important to have a plan and to have practiced in advance.

Healthy Working Habits: Time Management and Writing Motivation
This course will cover topics that deeply affect all researchers in and outside academia, and also transfer to other careers: time management and writing motivation. All disciplines and career stages are welcome.
Many researchers, at all career stages but especially early on, struggle with finding enough time to do everything. We work too much, we neglect our lives, we get burnt out – and we lose the passion for research that got us started. How do we develop healthy working habits and how can they renew a sustainable, positive relationship to our work?
