Comment/Description

Trainer:
The workshop is given by [Dr. Cornelia Altenburg, Berlin][1].

Workshop description:

The possibilities to make quick and target focused contact with experts, colleagues, potential employers and staff members, funders and business partners have increased in number and significance. In the light of growing complexity in the knowledge society and better electronic contact possibilities, the "know-who" is gaining in importance next to the "know-how".

In the academic sector, as elsewhere, personal contacts enhance the chances of finding supporters and funders for one"s own project, of receiving conference invitations, of being involved in publications, and of being told about interesting positions.

Networking requires initiative and continued investment. It is helpful, in this context, to be able to rely on proven strategies to make the right contacts, to communicate in a target focused way and to find the balance between giving and taking. The workshop transmits these proven networking techniques. The following points are dealt with:


* Basics of networking: Objectives - right from the start!
* Before the harvest, sow: Building contacts
* Network care: The dos and don"ts of networking
* Network university: Which contacts and bodies are important?
* Networking as investment: Benefits versus costs
* Small talk as icebreaker: Getting into conversation confidently
* Networking: My next steps



Testimonials:

* It is important to learn different networking strategies. The workshop gives useful advices, that I hope I can implement to improve my networking.
* Great starting point to get an idea about networking strategies/opportunities to be tested and practiced.
* I feel more confident now to approach people at conferences
* A very interactive atmosphere during the entire workshop! I feel more confident about initiating dialogues during conferences and other similar events. Dr. Cornelia Altenburg has a very comprehensive expertise in this field.
