Through the cooperation with the digital learning portal TwentyOne Skills, the GUT program is enriched by a new format, especially for scientists in early career phases, which is easily accessible and flexible to use. Users can choose between synchronous and asynchronous learning modes and/or combine them. Courses with a learning duration of 1-2 hours (deep dives) as well as approx. 20-minute “nuggets” are offered.
The platform includes an extensive range of online courses in German and English specifically for target groups in science and research. It currently offers over 50 courses and is constantly being expanded and updated.
Good scientific practice in doctoral studies - self-study course
Open for: Master's Students interested in doing a PhD & PhD Candidates
Date: eLearning offer on request | available at any time
Language: German & English
How should research results be documented? How do you cite correctly? How do you deal with image sources? The eLearning course “Good Scientific Practice in Doctoral Studies”, in German or English, provides answers to questions on how to work correctly.
In cooperation with the Graduate Academy of the Goethe University Frankfurt (GRADE), which designed this interdisciplinary course, the GUT offers an online self-study course for students to complete on their own. This course deals with further doctoral topics: how to plan and organize the research project sensibly; or which legal aspects, such as labour and copyright law, are relevant for PhD candidates.
Applying for (Junior) Professorships - self-study course
Open for: PhD Candidates, Postdocs & Junior Professors
Date: Video stream on request + learning material for download | approx. 3 hours | available from July 2025 to June 2026
Sprache: German
This webcast is primarily aimed at postdocs of all experience levels (R2/R3) and is geared towards researchers with little to no experience with appointment procedures. Of course, doctoral candidates or more experienced researchers are also welcome to watch the video.
The aim of the video is to provide detailed information about all phases of the appointment procedure for W1 to W3 professorships in Germany and to provide concrete assistance and tips for your applications. The video first looks at the procedure and formal aspects of the appointment process. Then all the necessary application documents (especially CV, cover letter, concepts) are discussed in detail and partly illustrated with sample materials. In the third part, the expectations and requirements in the hearing before the appointment committee as well as important preparation steps are discussed. You will receive tips and brief demonstrations on how to organize your academic presentation and teaching sample.
In addition, the most frequently asked questions and topics in the committee interview are presented.
