Intercultural Competence in Scientific Communication (online workshop)
Cross-cultural or intercultural communication can be considered one of the key elements for a successful career entry in institutions, organisations, companies and the field of research and teaching. Cultural differences and characteristics in communication can be an obstacle or a benefit to successful cooperation.
This workshop will take a closer look at the basics of cross-cultural communication as a key competence in higher education. Drawing on the classics as well as current and new approaches, we will obtain an overview of the theoretical and practical aspects of intercultural competence regarding scientific communication. Themes will also include critical reflections of organizational behavior and intercultural psychology. The latter will be the basis for intercultural activities to practice successful interaction and cooperation. With the help of case studies and practical exercises, the workshop’s content will be examined in depth and reflected through an application-oriented approach.
