Workshops

for Natural and Life Scientists

Evolution, Experience and Encouragement -
A Premise for Effective Workshops

Natural and life scientists focus their efforts on research, usually putting in more than the regular work week. They do not enjoy sitting around in inefficient workshops.

Furthermore, these scientists have acquired the skills to research and understand important concepts themselves, even beyond their own area of expertise.They don’t need to be slowly introduced to the basics.

Therefore, attending workshops only makes sense for natural and life scientists if they offer

  • an overview of the EVOLUTION of the field, including the most up-to-date developments
  • in-depth knowledge in the field that can only be acquired through EXPERIENCE
  • ENCOURAGEMENT to actively engage with the topic through experiential learning

All of the workshops offered here are built on this premise. They are based on decades of interaction with natural scientists at all career stages.
