Being new in Germany might cause questions on how to deal with the locals in research, business and daily life. To help you find answers to make your stay easier, more comfortable and even more successful, we have invited Dr. Claudia Ruppert, an intercultural trainer.

Ms Ruppert will give a presentation and address specific topics such as communication styles in Germany, hierarchy concepts, time management, conflict resolution and establishing relationships in business and social life with colleagues/locals in Germany. There will be time for individual questions at the end. The talk will be given in English.

MUNICH WELCOME! invites all international researchers of TUM and Max Planck and their partners and asks for a registration until October 25th 2013 via email to Katrin Sillem (sillem@gv.mpg.de) stating your first and last name, your affiliation/institution and your nationality. We are looking forward to meeting you there!
