MAIN CONTENTS
Section1:
A simulation showing the difference between group and team work. Participants have to solve an unusual problem in three ways: independently, independently combining the results of their work with others, and together. During the simulation, the participants, with the help of a specific numerical effect, learn the differences between a group and a team. This helps them understand what the synergistic effect is and the key factors for team effectiveness and performance.
Section 2:
Participant will check their own research and leader competences to get knowledge of what social and professional competencies determine your scientific development. They will match tasks to their strengths and avoid those that will be difficult to perform. They will plan specific paths for the development of competencies and actively manage them.
