Continuing education in the science system

Conception, organisation and implementation of continuing education formats for universities

I design, organise and implement continuing education programmes in the science system for universities and scientific institutions. This work combines scientific analysis, organisational expertise and many years of experience as a trainer and programme manager.

I offer a wide range of continuing education formats - from targeted workshops to multi-module, cross-support programmes. I draw on my extensive experience as head of HR and university development organisations at various universities, where I designed, developed and was responsible for continuing education programmes.

Training specialisations

My further education courses are aimed at people who work at the interface between science, teaching, management and organisation - in universities and non-university scientific institutions:

Project management and coordination
University professionals and people from the third space
People in management, steering and development roles
Designers of university, teaching and academic development processes
Employees in scientific institutions

The thematic focus of my further education work includes

Leadership and lateral leadership in the science system
Project, change and organisational development
Role clarification and professional positioning in complex organisational contexts
Working in formal and informal hierarchies
Governance, decision-making and control logics in universities and scientific institutions
Sustainable anchoring of projects, programmes and innovations

The following formats have proven their worth:

Multi-module training programmes
Funding and programme-related qualifications
Networking and reflection formats

Trainer & didactic design

I also work as a trainer in further education, design didactic settings and accompany learning and development processes in a processual manner. In doing so, I combine a system-theoretical foundation with practical reflection and attach great importance to:

Experience-based learning
collegial exchange and networking
Transfer to the respective institutional context
a protected space for reflection on complex role requirements

Among others, the following are used:

Face-to-face, online and hybrid formats
Multi-module programmes
Workshops, training and accompanying reflection formats
Accompanying individual and group coaching
Body-orientated experience spaces (e.g. Strategic boxing coaching)

Experience in large-scale training programmes

I do not see continuing education as an isolated qualification offer, but as a strategic instrument for the further development of universities and scientific organisations.

In my work, I have not only carried out further education programmes, but also set them up structurally and coordinated and further developed large-scale further education programmes. These include, in particular, funding-related and cross-university programmes in which continuing education is designed to accompany development and change processes.

I realise larger programmes in collaboration with a sustainable network of trainers, coaches and scientific experts.
