Master your international Teamwork
Master Your International Teamwork
Interkulturelle Zusammenarbeit, die internationale Forschungsteams stärkt
Dieses Format ist Teil einer Lernreise für internationale Promovierende und Postdocs, die Graduiertenprogramme dabei unterstützt, internationale Zusammenarbeit in Forschungsteams bewusst zu gestalten. Es kann auch einzeln gebucht werden.
Internationale Graduiertenprogramme bringen Forschende aus unterschiedlichen wissenschaftlichen Kulturen zusammen. In vielen Teams arbeiten internationale und deutsche Promovierende und Postdocs eng miteinander.
Diese Vielfalt ist eine große Stärke – gleichzeitig entstehen im Forschungsalltag leicht unterschiedliche Erwartungen, Kommunikationsstile oder Missverständnisse.
Der Workshop Master Your International Teamwork richtet sich bewusst an gemischte Forschungsteams und unterstützt internationale und deutsche Forschende dabei, kulturelle Unterschiede besser zu verstehen und konstruktiv zu nutzen.
Im Mittelpunkt steht eine praxisnahe Reflexion der Zusammenarbeit in internationalen Forschungsteams – mit konkreten Strategien für Kommunikation, Vertrauen und Teamkultur.
Was Teilnehmende mitnehmen
- ein besseres Verständnis kultureller Dynamiken in internationalen Teams
- Strategien für klare und respektvolle Kommunikation zwischen internationalen und deutschen Teammitgliedern
- mehr Sicherheit im Umgang mit Missverständnissen und Konflikten
- praktische Ansätze, um Vertrauen und Zusammenarbeit im Team zu stärken
Für Graduiertenprogramme und Forschungsverbünde
Der Workshop eignet sich besonders für gemischte Teams aus internationalen und deutschen Promovierenden, Postdocs und Projektgruppen, die ihre Zusammenarbeit bewusst reflektieren und stärken möchten.
Er wird häufig eingesetzt in
- internationalen Graduiertenprogrammen
- Summer Schools oder Retreats
- interdisziplinären Forschungsprojekten
Die Formate sind praxisnah, dialogisch und erfahrungsorientiert und können flexibel an die Bedürfnisse eines Programms angepasst werden.

"Iris provided us with the perfect amount of usable theoretical background on scientific level, exercises and interactions. The Aha-effects and what we learned about ourselves and the cultural different ways how we communicate and how others feel about it, was particularly successful."

"I am taking home to be more open-minded and to keep asking questions. This training solved one of my big and main problems: I had a lot of misunderstanding of the German culture. I really enjoyed playing games and the group tasks. I will adapt both. I enjoyed that Iris used games and tasks to pass the message."
Stephen Momanyi, Kenian PhD student
Universität Marburg
"This training helped me to understand other groups (nations, societies, ..) better and deeper. My main take-away is to be more tolerant of differences. I really enjoyed the game. They went really deep. I learned a lot, without thinking too much about the time. Iris is great and very well organized."
Elyas Pirasteh, Iranian Ph.D. Student

"The training was very valuable for my (work) life in Germany. It solved cultural issues. Integration with Germans and non-Germans. How to address a senior, how to write emails. The fun games shed on the issue of cultural integration and showed how to solve them, through observing others and inquiring.Frau Iris was fantastic. She is a very dynamic Trainer, and she builds the structure of this workshop very tactfully and intellectually."
Fakhta Zeib, Ph.D student
Universität Marburg
"I learned so much about the general German culture and their way of working. This is most useful for me. I never faced any problems or challenges until now, as I just arrived. But I've learned a lot that will help me to avoid further problems. I enjoyed the games and sharing experiences. This was very useful for my learning. And I very much liked the open discussion activities. Thank you, Iris!"
Bathnyambuu Dashpurev, Kenian Ph.D. Student

"I am taking home the intercultural competencies and will continue to work with them. I could better understand German culture, due to the workshop. I believe I can now solve the problems or concerns I had about German Task-Orientation and direct speech. I feel like I got new tools to better integrate myself into German society.
I found the games really functional because they made me reflect on deep topics. Furthermore, I will try to adapt my emotional response toward German behavior regularly. I really enjoyed the dynamic style and the way; the trainer managed herself to make us interact with each other."
Pablo Castaldo, Ph.D. Student

"The training was a very valuable asset for my coming life in Germany. It solved cultural issues. Integration with Germans and non-Germans. How to address a senior, how to write emails.
