»Future Skills for Science«: New E-Learning Programme for PhD students and Postdocs

This year GRS has a collaboration with TwentyOne Skills, which is one of the largest digital learning platforms for young researchers. You can use the platform flexibly and according to your needs with more than 40 relevant courses.

What does the new e-learning platform offer?

The new learning format 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.

How can you use the platform?

The GRS will provide 50 accounts from 1 July 2024. To obtain an account, please register by email: researchschool(at)b-tu.de (Subject: Account Learning Platform)

Once you have received your account, you will be able to use the platform until 31 December 2024. We allocate accounts on a "First Come, First Served" basis.

Kick-Off-Meeting on 25 June 2024, 10:00 am (online)

We offer you a short introduction with our partner TwentyOne Skills. You will then learn how to use the platform (e.g. how to get a certificate after each course).
