Venue: Barkhausen Bau BAR II/63a
In this full day workshop, we will identify your most significant challenges and synthesize Kolb’s Experiential Learning Framework, Amann’s Resilience Circle Training, and Rashid’s Applied Somatics work to develop resonance in practical, applicable skills for navigating your professional and personal challenges.
During the training, you will come to understand how you are wired to both gain and lose energy, and how to seek maximal flow state optimization. You will be introduced to the Reinvention Process for maintaining creative productivity. The eight factors of the Resilience Circle will be explored for both strengthening existing, and building new, resilience capacities. Resonance strategies for optimizing communication and collaboration with other people will also be explored. You will come away with an individualized Resilience & Resonance plan you can refer back to in your day to day lives.

In 2023, five female scientists from Dresden were awarded the ERC Consolidator Grant. We are pleased to say that we were able to invite 3 of the female ERC Consolidator Grant awardees for a Women@DDc Network event addressed at female scientists from DRESDEN-concept institutions. The three invited scientists will be giving first-hand accounts on their successful pathways to an ERC grant, talking about the work of developing and writing their ERC grant proposals, and will be sharing insights into and learnings from their ERC experience. After the talk, there will be an opportunity for networking.
