Learn to navigate receiving and giving feedback in academia effectively and confidently. Participants will learn mindset, strategies, and tactics, to transform critical feedback into opportunities for growth. In interactive sessions, postdocs will gain the tools needed to not only survive but thrive in the competitive academic landscape. Working as postdoctoral researchers means working in a highly competitive, international, and hierarchical environment. One of the most frequently named stress factors in research is feedback: how it is delivered (or avoided), the messages it contains, and how difficult it often is both to receive and to give feedback. And yet, it is an essential part of research. Looking at concrete communication methods (based on Nonviolent Communication) as well as at psychosocial roots for our difficulties with feedback, this interactive workshop is designed to offer perspectives, tools and practice to make both giving and receiving feedback more effective and enjoyable.

Sichtbarkeit ist in der Wissenschaft zu einem wertvollen Gut geworden. Es zeigen sich jedoch deutliche Unterschiede in Bezug auf das Geschlecht: gleiche Sichtbarkeitsanstrengungen führen nicht zwangsläufig zu gleicher Sichtbarkeit.

Das wirft Fragen auf: Wie findet die Herstellung von Sichtbarkeit statt? Mit welchen Hürden sind Frauen dabei konfrontiert? Welche Handlungsmöglichkeiten zeigen sich?

Chronic pain is one of the most prevalent and disabling conditions worldwide. Despite the devastating impact that chronic pain can have in limiting quality of life, we still have not yet been able to provide effective strategies to alleviate its burdens and understand its nature from a scientific perspective. However, mounting evidence substantiates that persistent or recurrent pain does not neatly correspond to the suffering that accompanies it. Therefore, a promising strategy for future research is to focus less on the pain and more on the aspect of suffering itself. The aim of the proposed conference is to motivate this shift in debate, both theoretically and practically, and to prepare the ground to better understand the driving factors of the burden and disability in chronic pain. Addressing this challenge is a genuine interdisciplinary endeavour bringing together philosophers, quantitative and qualitative researchers, as well as clinical practitioners.

NEURIZONS is a place where graduate students, postdoctoral researchers, and principal investigators gather to listen to renowned speakers from various scientific fields and discuss a wide range of topics within the fascinating field of Neuroscience.

In the years after completing their doctorate, many doctoral graduates are faced with the question of whether they want to stay in academia or whether they want to pursue a career outside academia. The question is not an easy one, especially because there are very few permanent positions available in academia in the long term. How can postdocs make a good decision here? What skills are in demand inside and outside academia? What can help to assess the prospects of success as realistically as possible? In this short online workshop, we will explore these questions and develop initial hypotheses against the background of the participants’ individual situations.

Wer nach der Promotion den Weg der Wissenschaftskarriere weiterverfolgt, steht immer wieder vor der Frage: In der Wissenschaft bleiben oder gehen? In der Postdoc Phase ist es besonders wichtig, auch früh Karriere relevante Entscheidungen zu treffen, um eigene Weichen auf dem weiteren Weg zur Professur oder/für alternative Karrierewege innerhalb oder außerhalb des Hochschulsystems zu stellen. (Zukunfts- und) Karriereplanung ist dabei hilfreich, die eigene Vision einer auch künftig zufriedenstellenden Arbeit (weiter) zu entwickeln, die eigenen Stärken und Wünsche zu fokussieren, um die anstehenden Entscheidungen oder sich zufällig ergebende beruflichen Optionen selbstreflektierter und zielbewusster einzuschätzen. Ein durchdachter Karriereplan unterstützt Postdocs auch, motiviert die anstehenden Herausforderungen, ihre wissenschaftliche Profilierung und Hürden zu managen und dabei die eigene Gesundheit und Life-Work-Balance nicht außer Acht zu lassen.

Successful grant proposal writing is a fundamental basis to fund a career in research. There are plenty of national and international funding programs with different funding schemes. Each scheme has its individual context and thematic focus, eligibility and funding rules, submission and evaluation process, and evaluation criteria. Thus, the detailed features and aspects of a successful proposal in one funding scheme are naturally differing from those of a successful proposal in another funding scheme. However, the process of how to work out these details is a common denominator to the different funding schemes. It requires skills way beyond the ability to work out a research idea in detail.

In science, strong presentation skills are essential to convince the audience of your individual research profile. The individual mode of presentation is shaped by diverse factors, but particularly a confident (vocal) expression supports key points of a scientific talk. Especially on the level of postdoctoral research with high responsibilities in teaching and research as well as lots of pressure on individual success effective and authentic presentation skills are essential – most notability for preparing a professorship.

Brain disorders are frequently associated with dysfunction of chemical synapses – either causally due to functional impairment of specific synaptic elements or as a consequence of other disease mechanisms that disturb the functionality of these highly complex molecular machines for neuronal communication. In many cases, it is difficult to distinguish which of the two possibilities applies, although this information may be very important for potential treatment strategies. The term “Synaptopathies” has been coined for this highly diverse group of diseases. They can have acquired or genetic causes and can be due to malfunctions in neurodevelopment, neurodegenerative processes or abnormal interactions with other body organs such as the immune system. At the 41st Blankenese Conference, experts dealing with these different aspects of the impairment of brain synapses will meet to discuss current and future strategies to discover disease mechanisms and ways to combat Synaptopathies.

The first part of the day will focus on science: participants across different neuroscience disciplines will share their scientific expertise, discover common interests, and set the basis for future collaborations. The second part will center around the development of leadership, mentorship and management skills needed to run a successful group. Ample opportunities will also be provided for networking, including coffee breaks, lunch at a local forest hutte, and a dinner reception.

Das Motto des neurorad 2024 lautet: Gemeinsam Zukunft gestalten. Die aktuelle Situation in einem belasteten Gesundheitssystem zeigt uns täglich unsere Grenzen und unsere Chancen auf: Strukturelle Herausforderungen, der zunehmende Mangel an qualifiziertem ärztlichen und nicht-ärztlichen Nachwuchs oder neue technische Entwicklungen können nur gemeinsam gemeistert werden. Dazu zählt auch das Thema Nachhaltigkeit in der Neuroradiologie, dem wir in diesem Herbst einen eigenen Schwerpunkt geben möchten. Aber natürlich wartet unsere Tagung auch wieder mit klinischen Themenblöcken, u.a. zur vaskulären Neuroradiologie, zur Neuro-Onkologie oder zur Neurodegeneration auf. Darüber hinaus werden wir uns mit Neuen Bildgebungstechniken, der Kopf-Hals-Radiologie und dem Strahlenschutz in der Interventionellen Neuroradiologie beschäftigen.
