Scientific and research group work-processes are more and more based on project-work, sometimes with widely disparate and diverse members.

Scientific and research group work-processes are more and more based on project-work, sometimes with widely disparate and diverse members. This needs competences in two areas - project management skills and also the knowledge of how to build a team and to be able to cooperate with a variety of different personalities.
In this seminar we teach you how to combine these two abilities.
