Get started with the GatherTown session. Opportunity to check technical setups, ask organizational questions and to get to know the location.
Opening words to the conference, organizational details and introduction to the involved platforms and offices.
The digitization of research requires the development of researcher’s digital skillset. However, most researchers are often not trained in these skills. Even worse, currently, we observe a lack of clear learning paths for obtaining these essential skills.
In this workshop, we want to discuss avenues to improve this situation. First, we want to identify personas for researchers. On this...
In this workshop we want to discuss unconventional workshop formats and unconventional ways of approaching our target groups. Exemplary questions that we want to address within the workshop are:
• Workshop Formats: Which new and unconventional formats have you tried in the past? What worked best to get people involved? Which experiences do you have with (facilitated or peer) group...
PIER is the strategic Partnership for Innovation, Education and Research between DESY and Universität Hamburg. Since 2013 the core of the Education section is the PIER Helmholtz Graduate School. The rapid growth of the Science City Hamburg Bahrenfeld leads to an increasing number of researchers, institutions and graduate schools on Campus. Thus, in 2020, we founded the PIER Education Platform...
The Carpentries: Software, Data and Library Carpentry
Goal
Enable the participants to write their own scripts/programs/DSL/wrappers/building-tool-script in Kotlin.
Content
The course will introduce basic concepts of the language. Emphasis will be put on live coding (i.e. learners write their code along with the instructors) and overcoming the initial learning hurdles together. Hands-on exercises give the opportunity to test the newly...
GatherTown is a video-conferencing platform with many possible interactions among participants and between participants and content elements.
This, combined with intuitive interactions and spontaneous formation of breakout rooms makes the platform a good choice for online workshops or conferences.
In this Workshop we will explore design considerations, tools and workflows to create...
Scientists based at Helmholtz institutes often do not have direct access to local master students as university colleagues do. Therefore, many Helmholtz institutes are very open to accepting international applicants for doctoral projects, and good visibility in the international community is vital.
We present two internship programs for MSc students regularly offered in Jülich that reliably...
At the Helmholtz Zentrum München we frequently run courses. Our courses consist of a mix of lectures and hands-on exercise sessions, often requiring the use of statistical programing software, such as R or Python, and exemplary datasets. Lecture slides are prepared as pdf documents, and exercises as both pdf and html format. Each file has a version for the instructor and one for participants....
The “Grant Writing Bootcamp” provides postdocs at DZNE with the opportunity to work on a grant proposal and receive pilot funding (10,000€) for their own innovative research idea, particularly those with novel hypothesis and the potential for transformative results. Over a period of 4 months (consisting of two workshops and individual work), the 10 participants learn and apply methods how to...
In September 2021, we organized the Helmholtz Herbst Hackathon, a data science hackathon targeting PhD students and PostDocs in the Helmholtz Association. 45 participants mostly from the six Helmholtz Information and Data Science Schools (HIDSS) worked on data science challenges from various scientific domains. Especially after the long isolation due to the pandemic, we focused the program on...
All Helmholtz Incubator Platforms and many Helmholtz Institutions offer training formats aimed at the Helmholtz community. Some of these courses are intended for a wider target group while other training formarts are intended for narrower, more selected groups such as experts in a specific field. Since a common Helmholtz-wide communication system such as a training platform or a cross-center...
