Training

Each semester, we offer a scientifically founded seminar program for the academic staff of the LMU, consisting of approximately 40 seminars. We also offer seminars on individual request.

As we are currently relaunching our website, our new seminar program for the winter semester 2025/26 as well as the option to register online will be available from the beginning of September 2025. We thank you for understanding.

Our Seminar Program

Change content

  • The Center for Leadership and People Management offers a scientifically grounded seminar program tailored to the needs of LMU's academic staff.
  • Each semester, as part of our regular seminar program, we organize around 40 seminars for LMU’s academic staff around the topics of leadership, teamwork, and communication.
  • For each target group, the program is structured into basic and advanced seminars

Our program is equally aimed at:

  • Professors
  • Private lecturers
  • Habilitands
  • Postdocs
  • Doctoral students

  • In our basic seminars, we provide an overview of topics related to leadership and collaboration. We recommend attending a basic seminar first before participating in other seminars.

  • Our advanced seminars focus on three key areas: self competence, leadership, and teaching skills.
    • Our self competence seminars cover topics such as time and stress management, creativity, positive psychology and mediation for conflict resolution.
    • Seminars on leadership skills focus on the role of academics as (future) leaders and convey skills on, for example, employee, team, chair and organizational leadership with a focus on increasing excellence.
    • The third subject area, teaching skills, was introduced to further professionalize leadership skills in dealing with students. This content is an extension of PROFiL, LMU's teaching qualification program.
