Scientific Speed Dating- planned next date: spring 2025

Are you:

• in search of new ideas, impulses and methods to include in your scientific work?
• in need of an expert for a certain scientific method or clinical issue?
• eager to present your skills and expertise? Would you like to: connect with fellow UKE researchers?
• expand your scientific network?
• head towards fruitful cooperations?

Then you should sign up for the Scientific Speed Dating event and get to know your fellow young researchers from various disciplines. Get in touch with each other in casual 7-minute chats and explore what the person opposite you is involved in scientifically or clinically. Take the time to enjoy a free pizza and you can figure out how to best connect your research and how your future work can benefit from your new contacts. Please contact us at explore@uke.de if you are interested to participate.

Camp2Proposal

The CAMP2PROPOSAL Programme is a series offered by the Dean’s Office for Research to support medical scientists in writing their first third party funding proposal. It will be run for a period of eight months and will involve expert talks and input, networking opportunities, writing workshops and the chance to benefit from peer support. We will kick off in March 2025 with talks by successful grantees and then meet again once a month for practical sessions. In the middle of the series, a networking event will be held where you will have the opportunity to meet experts and postdoctoral researchers who are slightly more advanced in their career stages. They will share their experience with you.

The six practical sessions will be held in the form of writing workshops modelled on teaching methods from Advanced English as a Foreign Language (EfL) classes with a specific focus on the language of grant proposals. There will be language input, followed by practice. Afterwards, there will be a group writing session where you will have a quiet and supportive space to prepare and work on your funding application.

To apply, please send your short CV and this application form via email to Elaine Hussey by Monday 3 February 2025. Please note that spaces are limited to 20 participants.
