Our new e-learning platform makes it possible to access learning content flexibly, regardless of time and place, and to gain specific qualifications in key areas of competence.
The learning platform currently has over 40 courses available and is constantly being expanded and updated. The offer naturally includes "bestsellers" such as Presentation Skills, Science Communication, Time Management or Leadership. But also new, in-demand areas such as Agility, Design Thinking, or Mental Health are being offered.
The e-learning courses are offered in two formats: “Deep Dive" courses are courses with a learning duration of 2-3 hours. Here, a topic is presented in detail. "Nuggets", on the other hand, concentrate on the specific teaching of a technique or method. Those who choose a nugget do not have to allow for more than 20 minutes of learning time.
Those who want to familiarise themselves independently and autonomously with new topics and fields of competence are well provided for with the extensive course portfolio. Furthermore, regular live formats offer the opportunity to exchange ideas on course content, applying methods or addressing individual questions, which are then answered by experts. Another focus is on transdisciplinary and cross-locational networking within the science community. These live sessions are 55min and are offered 2-4 times per week. You’ll get a monthly overview of the upcoming live classes.
