IMPROVATE specializes in courses, workshops, and lectures that help researchers and groups overcome personal, organizational, and scientific challenges. The methods we teach are founded in business theater, work psychology, change management, educational science, and sociology and are carefully transferred to the academic world.
The workshops are phenomenal. Exactly what PhD students need. I wish I had attended them in my first year!

IMPROVATE opens up perspectives that are often times completely neglected in academia. First, it feels like watching a great performance… and suddenly you are performing yourself!

More than a year after the workshop, I still regularly use the methods and tools during my daily work as a researcher.

The workshops really surprised me. I had never done improvisation theater before yet I found it super refreshing to be so actively involved.

I am amazed by the tangible value provided. There was always a very nice balance between practical training sessions and theoretical discussions.
