Committee competence - a career-relevant factor for postdocs - in German: Involvement in academic self-administration and participation in internal committees or in external cross-organizational committees of one's own scientific community are examples of the many fields of work of (early career) researchers. The workshop will focus on current, new or future roles and functions in a committee. Participants can reflect on their own understanding and appropriation of this role, for example with regard to the requirements, challenges, scope for action and limits.

On the success and failure of collaborations in science - in German: An extensive cooperation landscape has emerged along the performance dimensions of universities.

The workshop enables participants to learn the basics of successful cooperation management.
