In diesem Webinar zeigen wir wie SciFlow Authoring den wissenschaftlichesn Schreibprozess vereinfacht, Zeit spart und komplexe Formatierungen vereinfacht.

-- Automatische Formatierung gemäß den Richtlinien --

Beim wissenschaftlichen Schreiben sind akribische Referenzformatierungen oft sehr  zeitaufwändig. SciFlow hat dafür eine Lösung: einfach SciFlow mit dem bevorzugten Referenzverwaltungsprogramm verbinden, Referenzen einfügen, und SciFlow die Formatierung überlassen.

-- Zugriff auf tausende Journal-Templates --

SciFlow bietet allen Nuztzenden mit einer Lizenz eine benutzerfreundliche Journal-Template-Datenbank, die den Zugang zu tausenden Templates von Verlagen wie Elsevier, Wiley, IEEE, Springer Nature und anderen ermöglicht. 

-- Wir zeigen in diesem Webinar alles wichtige für den Einstieg in SciFlow --

Dabei behandeln wir die folgenden Themen:

- Eine Einführung in SciFlow und den Schreibprozess.- Funktionalität und Arbeit mit Templates für best mögliche Nutzung der automatischen Formatierung- Kollaborative Funktionen für eine effektive Teamarbeit.- Eine interaktive Q&A-Runde, um alle Fragen zu beantworten.

Give your lower body the attention it deserves!

This 30-minute online exercise is all about leg, foot and hip health. Targeted mobilization and strengthening exercises promote your mobility, strengthen your muscles and effectively prevent typical complaints such as tension or joint stiffness.ideal for anyone who sits a lot or wants to actively improve their stability and flexibility in the lower body - whether in the office or working from home.

The Alexander von Humboldt Institute for Internet and Society (HIIG), Berlin School of Public Engagement and Open Science (BSOPE) and Scicomm-Support invite applications to a summer school on resilience against hostility through science communication in Berlin from 7-8 July 2025.

Join the three-day training programme (two days in-person + online tasks and exchange) designed to equip researchers with the tools to:

- Develop a strong, impact-focused communication and engagement strategy

- Anticipate and manage hostile reactions, including hate speech and trolling

- Build resilience and find support in challenging situations

This training is tailored to researchers of all disciplines and career stages. The training will be held in English. 

Physik zum Frühstück am 30.07.2025

Seit 2002 gibt es bei BESSY "Physik zum Frühstück", eine leichtverdauliche Physikvorlesung für Jedermann und Jederfrau. Aber keine Sorge: auch bei BESSY gibt es Physik nicht auf nüchternen Magen. Bevor es losgeht, können sich Besucher an Bagels, Kaffee und Tee laben. Gestärkt beginnt dann der Ausflug in die Welt des Lichtes.

Zur besseren Planung melden Sie sich bitte bis spätestens 20.07.2025 unter Online-Anmeldung Physik zum Frühstück an! Für Familien mit Kindern ab 12 Jahren.

Are you a student or young professional passionate about pushing the boundaries of science and technology? Do you want to learn how to design and implement cutting-edge control systems for some of the world's most complex scientific instruments?

During the event, you will gain insights into the engineering principles underlying particle accelerators and other large-scale scientific projects. You will learn how scientists and engineers collaborate to conduct groundbreaking experiments and operate these machines with the highest level of precision. You will acquire a deep understanding of the control systems that govern big scientific pojects and have the opportunity to work on a hands-on project utilizing real scientific hardware.

Apply now for an immersive 2-week summer school at the BESSY II synchrotron in Berlin!

Registration deadline end on April, 20th

We would like to inform you about the upcoming International Summer School on Photovoltaics and New Concepts of Quantum Solar Energy Conversion to be held from August 31 - September 7, 2025  in Hirschegg, Kleinwalsertal, Austria. The school is now open for application until Sunday 4th of May 2025, 23.59h CET.

The school primarily addresses young postdocs, PhD students, and master students in their final year at university with an interest in photovoltaics and solar energy conversion. Please note that due to the strong interest in our school persons that have already participated cannot be accepted a second time. Invited speakers, all recognised scientists from leading world institutions, will give lectures covering a wide range of topics on the fundamental principles of the conversion of solar energy into chemical and electrical energy as well as the physical and technical challenges. The school will follow the tradition of previous very successful summer schools in 1998, 2001, 2003, 2006, 2008-2024. It is organised to be very interactive and the participants and speakers are requested to present their field of research and themselves in a short oral presentation on the first day of the school.

We are looking forward to your application
