Key Benefits for Postdoc and Ph.D. Researchers:

• Enhanced Research Collaboration: Learn how to effectively collaborate with international research teams, improving the quality and impact of your research.
• Increased Funding Opportunities: Develop cultural intelligence (CQ) skills that are essential for meeting the diversity, equity, and inclusion (DE&I) requirements of international collaboration, which can result in being part of an international consortium and secure funding.
• Career Advancement: Build competencies in cultural intelligence, making you a more attractive candidate for academic and research positions globally.

 

Learning Outcome:

• Cultural Knowledge: Understand potential differences across cultures, enabling you to work more effectively and inclusively in multicultural teams.
• Self-Awareness: Reflect on your personal preferences and cultural perspective in relation to a global context.
• Practical Strategies: Transform new knowledge into personal strategies for culturally inclusive and intelligent behaviour, language, and leadership.

 

Workshop Content:

• Introduction to Cultural Awareness: Gain a foundational understanding of cultural awareness
• The CQ Model: Evaluate your own cultural intelligence using the CQ model.
• Cultural Dimensions: Explore key cultural dimensions such as power distance, trust (task- vs. relations-oriented), and communication (direct/indirect).
• From Theory to Practice: Learn how to build CQ competencies in relation to specific cultural differences and work situations.
• Personal Strategies for Cultural Intelligence: Reflect on new knowledge and develop personal strategies and actions for being more culturally inclusive.

Throughout the workshop, we will use examples and cases relevant to AAU to ensure the content is practical and easy to implement.
