The Power of Networking for Scientists (WS 2026)

During this workshop, doctoral candidates at TUW will ...

  • Identify their personal motivations: To get crystal clear about their very own networking goals.
  • Learn about the new “people-first” way of networking: So connecting with others is less awkward, never fake, and meant to last.
  • Become clear about relevant players in their network: By analyzing who is vs. who should be in their network, and whom to focus future efforts on. 
  • Pinpoint opportunities for proactive outreach: So they can strategically expand their network and not leave their circle of support up to chance.
  • Build a plan to diversify their connections: To enjoy a differentiated set of backgrounds, opinions, skills, experiences, and reach.
  • Plan for the long run: By understanding how to build and nurture strong and meaningful relationships that last.
  • Develop their own personal networking strategy: Based on tried and practiced insights and directed by hands-on exercises in their workbook.
