Working in Research Management – Focus: Communication
A workshop offered by the Bonn Graduate Center
Many young researchers love to work in academia: An inspiring, international and vivid surrounding. Research careers on the other hand go along with uncertainties and a high level of competition. But what about remaining in academia as non-scientific staff? The workshop aims at prospective scientific managers and addresses core questions relevant for this area.

Course Description
The first step in the workshop is to differentiate between function in research management: There is not one single job description but a wide field of different tasks demanding different (communication) skills. The second part is on communication skills needed to address target groups: scientists, administrative staff, non-scientific stakeholders and more. Research management in fact means to collaborate with colleagues from various backgrounds with various aims - and to facilitate cooperation and co-creation at those different interfaces.
