Through visualization, interactive methods and discussions, you will have the opportunity to better understand your environment and make your future in Germany easier. This workshop is suitable for newcomers as well as for PhD students & PostDocs who have been in Germany for some time and want to broaden their understanding of Germany as an academic landscape.

The workshop is nothing like a 鈥渂oring鈥 presentation but rather a pleasant sharing of experiences and searching for strategies on how to work best in an international environment.
