| Description: | The Schiemann Kolleg supports activities, which help its fellows successfully establish themselves in the scientific community. Additionally, the Kolleg offers a platform for transdisciplinary scientific exchange. The support of the Elisabeth-Schiemann-Kolleg is of non-material nature; the fellows are not supported financially. The main offers of the Kolleg is mentoring, network building, executive coaching and regular plenary meetings. Within this framework, the young fellows have a significant influence on the shaping of the contents. A centerpiece is the hierarchy-free interaction of the members in the Kolleg. Present activities in the Kolleg comprise: * intensive rounds of introductions with focus on the previous career, personal experiences and expectations * in-depth discussions of topics that develop during the meeting, e.g. appointment procedure or organizing a research group * the offer to contact the directors at any time for specific questions * the opportunity of extended visits at a director's group (job shadowing) * scientific talks of the fellows * time for the fellows to talk to each other * leadership coaching by an external moderator To become a member, the participant must be nominated. All professors and directors of research institutions worldwide can nominate candidates. The membership of the fellows normally expires after five years. Obtainment of a permanent job automatically leads to termination. |
