Workshops with FiF

Short lectures with interdisciplinary exchange

In workshops, scientists hold short lectures to give an insight into their areas of research. Special emphasis in the context of this quite small format is placed on interdisciplinary exchange, sometimes with external guests invited to attend.

'Teamwork at TU Darmstadt'

Workshop

We warmly invite you to attend this FiF workshop discussion, which will take place on 12 November 2025.

Like many other fields, research, science and teaching are increasingly characterised by collaboration in interdisciplinary and, to an ever greater extent, intercultural teams. This stands in stark contrast to the strong emphasis on individual performance in academia.

 Why is this the case, or rather, why must and should it be this way? What structural obstacles exist in the development of forms of teamwork and individual team skills in the university environment? On the other hand, what could transformations in the university context look like? What would be the success factors for good teamwork? What distinguishes a team from a working group? This workshop will address these and other fundamental questions in discussions with representatives from science, business and society, and of course from our university.

We expect to hear discussion points from Norbert Albert (Liebich & Partner, Management and Human Resources Consulting AG), Dr Lorenz Hagenmeyer (VP Organisational Development at Robert Bosch GmbH), Dr Ulrich Mitzlaff (CEO of Süddeutsche Krankenversicherung a.G.), Julia Schindler (Sociology, Speyer/Berlin) and Miriam Wilhelm (TheDive Agency, Berlin)..

Date and time
Wednesday, 12 November, 3:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., Stadtmitte S3|20, Friedrich-Ludwig-Weidig-Saal, Room 18, Rundeturmstraße 10.

Registration is requested: eveeno.
