Job Application / Career Planning
Workshop Programme
The iGRAD workshops on key professional qualifications are open to all iGRAD members. They cover three fields of competences: Presentation/Communication/Rhetorics, Project-/Self-Management/Organization, and Teaching/Learning/Didactics. To complete the iGRAD Basic Curriculum, members must have attended a total of three workshops from different fields of competence. Further information can be found under iGRAD Basis Curriculum. Additionally, iGRAD provides the one-day seminar on "Good Research Practice for Doctoral Researchers" that is mandatory for all doctoral researchers of the MNF at the HHU, in accordance with currently valid doctoral degree regulations. This seminar is free of charge and does not require iGRAD membership.
The workshop dates for 2026 will be published on October 20th. Unfortunately we are still missing the dates of our cooperation partners, these will be added gradually.
