Themes for the 1st week (1 h = 45 min.)

How to Write and Publish a Scientific Paper, Seminar, (3 h), Prof. A. Gruber
Application for animal trials, considerations, planning and legal prerequisites (4 h), Prof. C. Thoene-Reineke
Oral scientific presentations, (8 h), Prof. J. Zentek (Muss unbedingt in die 2te Woche verlegt werden, da in der ersten Woche Examensprüfungen in der
Tierernährung laufen! (It will be useful, if this course will split in 2 parts with 4 hours each on different days. An introductory part and a discussion part for the
short presentations. The themes for the students might be more general, not so scientific ambitioned, and with more time to work on their short
presentations. Most of the participants will be PhD-starters, so they will have no data of their projects.)
Preparing Scientific Poster Presentations / Erstellung von Poster-Präsentationen, Seminar (4 h), Prof. R. Einspanier
Fundamentals of laboratory safety and genetic engineering (3 h), Dr. S. Sharbati
General principles, rules and practical procedures to ensure good scientific practice (2 h), Prof. Aschenbach
Open Access, copy right and plagiarism (2 h), Dr. T. Gäng
(Due to discussions after the first Spring School this course might be separately. This theme includes such a wide range, so a separate course will be useful
and will give more time for reflections and discussions.)
Literature Research and the Endnote program – Introduction and basic answers Part I and II (2 x 4 h), Dr. T. Gäng
Guidelines in Application for Third Party Financing in Germany/Europe (1 h), Prof. Clausen (New course)
(How to identify the correct addressee – strategic planning; how to get information; different application by examples)
