The German academic landscape has its own structures, expectations, and career pathways – which can be challenging to navigate, especially as an international researcher. What are the key career milestones? How do academic application procedures work? What types of funding are available? And what career paths exist beyond the traditional professorship?

This online seminar provides international researchers with practical and realistic guidance on how to pursue an academic career in Germany. Together, we will explore:

  • Key career milestones in Germany.
  • application processes and funding opportunities.
  • alternative career options beyond the traditional professorship.
  • and hands-on strategies for networking and professional positioning.

This online seminar is ideal for international postdocs, early-career researchers, and PhD candidates who want to continue or reorient their academic career in Germany.

    AI-Supported Academic Writing: Tools, Responsibility, and Best Practices

    Date 18.06.2026
    Time 16:00 - 17:30
    Moderator Dimitra Lountzi-Derksen, TwentyOne Skills

    Artificial intelligence is increasingly influencing academic writing and research workflows. This seminar is aimed at researchers who already have experience with AI tools and want to use them more strategically and responsibly in academic contexts.

    Participants will explore how AI can support key stages of academic writing, including literature research, structuring arguments, and text revision. The seminar also addresses essential considerations such as copyright, data protection, and ethical AI use in research and publishing. Rather than focusing on individual tools, the session emphasizes general principles and best practices for integrating AI into established academic workflows while maintaining academic integrity.

    This seminar is a collaboration between academics and TwentyOne Skills, e-learning specialist for research and science. It will be held in english.
