This two-day workshop helps participants understand why these misunderstandings happen and how they can be handled more effectively. The focus is not on learning fixed “rules” for different nationalities, but on developing cultural awareness, recognizing assumptions and adapting communication in international academic settings.
Participants will work with examples, case studies and their own experiences. The seminar is practical, interactive and relevant for doctoral candidates and postdocs who work in international teams, plan a research stay abroad or already have experience in intercultural academic environments.
