Networking for People Who Hate Networking A workshop with a personal follow-up coaching with Dr. Sylvia Löhken

Wednesday 4 Jun 2025, 09:00 → 17:00 Europe/Berlin

on campus, ITE Building 03.1 R. 104

Information on the coaching sessions:
The following 30-minute coaching sessions will take place on 10th June by arrangement.

Networking is an important key skill for early career 
researchers. At the same time, getting and keeping new 
contacts is not exactly a favorite pastime. This workshop
shows why this is the case – and why this can be different. 
Also, you learn what makes a good contact management
realistic and achievable.

The idea: Contact with others is best shaped in connection 
with our own personality. You will see how to develop 
connections with others while feeling good about it:
because your strategies match your preferences and your 
(maybe more introverted) personality.

Concrete occasions are events and professional visibility in 
the science field, e.g. conferences and encounters with 
decision-makers. Your personal cases will have priority.
This interactive workshop offers orientation, examples, 
practical advice and a buffet of strategies: There are 
always several ways to achieve your goals. And, last but 
not least, you may realise: A lot is already there!
