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 Helmholtz Metadata Collaboration (HMC) calls for the transfer of knowledge to the community. In the context of HMC Hub Matter we have developed a workflow for delivering training which is supported by cyclic quality control, and guidelines and templates on how to implement this training offering ensuring its value beyond a single training instance. This is reflective of how the training...
Leisure Walk-In Walk-Out Hackathon/Bazaar of ideas on the topic of how to support PhD students and scientific staff with programming skills to enhance their research efficiency.
We will be designing approaches towards long-term learner retention and forming communities as an additional goal of the teaching events.
Also, we will collect ideas how to promote isolated teaching events to a...
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...
