This interactive workshop provides an overview of essential time management strategies tailored for scientists. Participants will learn how to set priorities, structure their day, plan their week, and reflect on their personal habits and preferences. Additionally, the training will help identify major time wasters, offer practical techniques for handling disruptions, and provide strategies to overcome procrastination.

Participants who complete this comprehensive two-day workshop will learn how to initiate, plan, and execute a project that meets objectives on time and within the budget. In addition, the workshop addresses different techniques which are relevant for a flexible approach to project management.

Every researcher working with empirical data needs a solid understanding of statistical data analysis. Yet, statistics is often taught in abstract ways, disconnected from real research questions. This hands-on online course bridges that gap by focusing on participants’ own data and projects.

The Academia Raetica is pleased to invite its members and partners to an excursion to Integra Biosciences in Zizers. This event is primarily aimed at PhD students, postdocs, and scientific staff within the Academia Raetica network. The excursion will be held in English.

How to integrate values into research

This course provides and introduction into the principles of research ethics and the social responsibility of science. We will explore key topics such as academic integrity, the role of values in science, and the role of science as an institution in society. We will also examine the ethical responsibilities that come with conducting research.

Einführung in automatische Textanalyse anhand praktischer Beispiele aus der Forschung. Es wird sowohl eine Einführung in die Methoden geben, als auch Bibliotheken und Skripte in R und Python angewendet. Die Möglichkeiten und Grenzen der automatischen Inhaltsanalyse werden diskutiert.

Every scientist has to visually communicate scientific data. As figures in scientific manuscripts, slides in conference talks, posters and increasingly also as graphical abstracts, interactive visualizations, and in dashboards. Yet, the fundamentals for designing data visualizations for audiences are not part of the core undergraduate and graduate curriculum. In this workshop, participants learn to understand and prepare efficient scientific data visualizations.

This is a training workshop for live presentations that merges science communication with training tools from improvisational theatre. Designed for early-career researchers from a range of disciplines, the workshop focuses on the effective communication of the societal dimensions of research to diverse target audiences. Participants will develop strategies for making their research more accessible and socially responsive, with an emphasis on real-world application and interdisciplinary exchange.

The online workshop on AI-Powered Search and Discovery Tools for Publications and Research Data is designed for researchers looking to optimise their research processes. It provides hands-on insights into modern AI-driven search technologies that facilitate the efficient discovery, analysis, and management of relevant scientific publications and datasets.

The online workshop "Managing Confidential Research Data" is designed for researchers working with sensitive and confidential information, such as in life sciences, social sciences, or areas involving trade secrets. It provides an overview of responsible research data management and enables participants to apply best practices in handling confidential data.
