, Sprachenzentrum (SPZ)
Total possible duration of the course: ca. 3 months. Meetings may take place between February 2, 2026 and April 30, 2026 and are individually arranged. Therefore, the course might start on a day other than February 2.
This course, adapted to your level and your goals, aims to give you confidence in your ability to communicate in the language. It is ideal for people who want to improve their English but either:
1. don't have time to attend a regular class or
2. have specific learning requirements which may not be met in a group-based course.
This course adapts to suit you. The focus can be on improving writing skills, dealing with grammar or developing your fluency in speaking.
After registration, you will be contacted to set up your first appointment at which you will agree on an individual program based on your requirements. Then meetings will take place either face-to-face at an agreed location or online, or a mixture of both. A total of 4 academic hours are available for each participant.
If you would like to do this course together with a colleague, please indicate this on your registration. In such an arrangement, participants must be at or near the same language level and have similar learning goals (speaking, presenting or writing). In order for this to work, participants must arrange their own partnerships, as student pairing is not carried out by the language department.

Scientific Writing. Improving Your Scientific Writing Skills in English (Two-day) [On-site Workshop]
Workshop
Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT)
Bldg. 08.03, room 312
Bldg. 08.03, room 312
Matthew Shimohara, KIT Sprachenzentrum (SPZ)
The event will be held in English and run for two days, on February 2, 2026, 9 a.m. to 4.45 p.m. and February 6, 2026, 9 a.m. to 2.30 p.m.
This workshop focuses on the language you use when writing scientific papers. Our aim is to improve your writing by talking about conventions in the field, producing your own texts and discussing further questions which arise whilst writing.
We start by briefly discussing the content of each section of a paper (Abstract, Introduction, Methods, Results, Discussion). As a group we will develop guidelines that can be used when writing your own text. Next, we will look at authentic sample texts to talk about conventions of style and possibly grammar. We will pay special attention to language patterns in specific subject areas as these tend to vary.
We will use another set of texts to practice editing. Then, you will be asked to apply your skills and write short texts of your own, e.g. a project summary, a critical review and a results section. You will receive feedback on your writing style and use of language. As questions related to language use, punctuation and grammar arise, we will discuss them.
By the end of the course, you will improve your ability to write about your research and comment on other writers’ research in English. You will sharpen your editing skills and develop a sense for appropriate style in a scientific text.
To decide whether this workshop is suitable for you, please consider the following information:
Language requirements: This EFL course is designed for English speakers of other languages, i.e. non-native speakers of English who have a mid to upper range of the Common European Frame of Reference (CEFR B2 - C1). We recommend that you take our placement test on ILIAS before starting the course. If your language level is B1, the course might seem rather challenging (and go a bit fast). If your language level is C2, keep in mind that we deal with issues of grammar and syntax that might seem simple to you. (Information on how to access the test can be found below.)
Topics not covered in the workshop: This course does not cover certain related aspects of preparing scientific manuscripts, such as the submission, review and publication of a paper. We also do not cover citation styles due to the wide variety of styles and requirements for different fields of science.
Course materials will be distributed on ILIAS.

Geb. 30.95, Seminarraum Forum A+B (1. OG)
Patrizia Köhler, KIT, Personalentwicklung und Berufliche Ausbildung (PEBA)
Die Veranstaltung findet auf Deutsch statt.
Im Rahmen einer persönlichen Standortbestimmung nehmen Sie sich Zeit, Ihre aktuelle berufliche und private Situation bewusst zu reflektieren. Sie befassen sich dabei mit Ihren persönlichen Zielen und Wünschen und leiten daraus konkrete Schritte für Ihre weitere Karriere- und Kompetenzentwicklung ab.
Was habe ich bereits erreicht? Welche Kompetenzen zeichnen mich besonders aus? Worin liegen meine Stärken? Was ist mir wichtig? Wie stelle ich mir eine gelingende Zukunft vor?
In der Veranstaltung geht es zunächst darum, den derzeitigen Status Quo genauer zu beleuchten und ein Verständnis für Ihre gegenwärtige Situation zu generieren. Eine solche Bestandsaufnahme hilft Ihnen, Ihre Lebens- und Karriereplanung fokussiert zu gestalten, eine Reflexionsgrundlage für Ihre längerfristigen beruflichen und privaten Entscheidungen zu erstellen sowie an den eigenen Entwicklungsfeldern zielgerichtet zu arbeiten.
Auf diese Weise können Sie aus ganzheitlicher Perspektive Ziele für Ihre weitere Karriereplanung entwickeln und erste konkrete Schritte ableiten.
Bitte beachten Sie, dass eine Standortbestimmung keine individuelle Berufs- oder Karriereberatung leisten kann. Zur weiteren Karriereplanung bietet das KHYS folgende Workshops an:
After the Doctorate. Career Planning for Doctoral Researchers How to Shape Your Future. Career Planning for Postdocs
Die Veranstaltung richtet sich an Promovierende und Postdocs am KIT (Mitglieder des KHYS). Wenn Sie derzeit noch kein Mitglied bei KHYS sind, können Sie sich hier registrieren.
Die Veranstaltung findet auf Deutsch statt.
Eine vollständige Anwesenheit an der Veranstaltung wird erwartet.
Bitte melden Sie sich frühzeitig per E-Mail ab, wenn Sie nicht an einer Veranstaltung teilnehmen können. Damit können Personen von der Warteliste nachrücken und Sie helfen uns, die Qualität des Weiterbildungsprogramms aufrecht zu erhalten. Vielen Dank!

Ethics in the Lab. A Workshop on Scientific Misconduct and How to Avoid it (One-day) [Online Workshop]
Online Seminar
Online
PD Dr. phil. Alexander Bagattini and Team, KIT, ARRTI (KIT Academy for Responsible Research, Teaching, and Innovation)
The event will be held in English, on February 10, 2026.
The workshop "Ethics in the Lab" is relevant for doctoral researchers from all disciplines.
What makes research both successful and ethical? This workshop dives into the challenges early-career researchers face in balancing these goals. In a competitive publish-or-perish environment, dilemmas often arise:
Can I leave out statistical outliers to improve my results? When does “data massaging” become misconduct? How transparent must I be, while still staying competitive? What do I do if I notice misconduct by a colleague or face problematic expectations from my supervisor?
Through realistic case discussions, you’ll gain practical tools to navigate these conflicts and make informed, ethical decisions. Learn how to recognize and prevent scientific misconduct, reflect on your role as a researcher, and understand the ethical expectations placed on scientists in a broader social context.
This workshop will show you how ethical, responsible research is key to truly successful science.
Please plan 3-4 hours for pre-workshop activities.
This event is open to doctoral researchers and postdocs at KIT who are KHYS members as well as for doctoral reserachers and postdocs from universities of the EPICUR alliance. If you are currently not yet a member of KHYS, you can register here.
The event will be held in English, on February 10, 2026.
Technical requirements: To participate in this event, you need a stable internet connection, a webcam and a microphone. Participants will receive further detailed information regarding the online-platform prior to the event.
We generally expect participants to attend throughout the entire duration of the event.

Project Management for Research Projects (Two-day) [Online Workshop]
Online Seminar
Online
Melanie Glickman, Leadership Sculptor GmbH
The event will be held in English and run for two days, on February 23, 2026, 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. and February 24, 2026, 9 a.m. to 12:30 p.m.
Research has always been project-focused. However, the increasing complexity of projects and project consortia means that old approaches are no longer enough. Modern project management allows you to get the most out of your resources and to perform more research with fewer resources, at lower stress levels.
In this 1.5-day workshop you will learn:
To develop the goals and scope of your project, The importance of the quality – time – cost triad, How to define milestones, work packages and their interdependencies, The simple trick that changes your project from being late to being early, To handle the main communication processes effectively To clarify who does what and by when.
This workshop is highly interactive and allows you to apply the concepts, models and tools of project management directly to your research project. In addition, you will identify the changes you want to make so that your work is more effective and enjoyable.
Please note: In addition to this workshop, KHYS offers other project management courses with different focal points, that may overlap in terms of content:
Getting Started. Managing your Dissertation Project Successfully Basics of Project Management Projektmanagement in der Industrie Agile Project Management (for advanced learners with prior knowledge in project management basics)
This event is open to doctoral researchers and postdocs at KIT who are KHYS members. If you are currently not yet a member of KHYS, you can register here.
