October 2026: New soft skill training series for students and employees
The Chair for Global Nutrition and Trade (Prof. Tom Kopp) and the Chair for International Food and Nutrition Security (Prof. Gudrun Keding) have launched a new soft skill training series for the winter term 2026/27. Sessions take place every Wednesday on a wide range of topics.
In the first session, "The life cycle of academic articles and the publication process,” Prof. Tom Kopp introduced how scientific quality is assessed, including common indicators for evaluating researchers and academic journals and their strengths and limitations. Participants also learned about the peer-review and publication process, including how to respond effectively to reviewers’ comments from submission to publication.
