Workshop 2 Self-marketing for women

Workshop 2
Becoming visible: Self-marketing in academia
SR V, CFEL


An important factor for success in academia lies in the art of linking research topics and publications with oneself and one's name – or in other words: effective self-marketing is essential.

This workshop gives participants a chance to work out a concrete concept for their academic profile and to then use this profile as a basis for developing a plan for presenting their strengths and special topics in various academic areas of activity (working groups, commissions, conferences, social media, public relations). Using the areas in which positive self-presentation is successful or comes readily as a starting part, strategies for expanding into other areas will also be discussed. The potential signal effects of everyday actions in academia will be examined in this context: What behaviours used in daily interactions can contribute to improving your status, and what pitfalls should be avoided?

Focal points:
  • Basics of self-marketing in academia
  • Investigating different fields of action: working environment, committees & academic associations, conferences, internet & social media
  • Making one's field available to the public: How to use press and media
  • Integrating self-marketing actions in one’s daily life
