Title of invention:
CALIBRATION SITE FOR UNDERGROUND MAPPING LOCATIONAL AND DETECTABILITY ACCURIES ASSESSMENT
Most people grow up in a very protecting and limiting surrounding. Then, at some point starts the own Personal Development in order to cultivate an own Personality with a stable standing, a good self confidence, the ability to be in charge of something and – if it runs ideal – an intrinsic motivation to do the daily things with happiness and drive. The step into a self-determined life is not happening automatically but needs some effort from the individual and some impulses from the outside. Personal Development is not a phenomenon, which is able to be taught in one session e.g. within a workshop. Personal Development is a lifelong process and for my opinion it is the sense of every individual life on earth. Crucially is not, where and how we decide to develop, crucially is that we decide to develop. We are not able to decide as many things as we would like to. Things happen in life and the difference between various states of development is the possibility to act with the changing situations in a advanced way. This means to be flexible, to be able to accept facts and to be strong enough to change things, which are to be changed. People are very distinctive and so one‘s advantage is another one‘s fear – just depending on the current state of Personal Development. The INSTeG Workshop actually will illuminate, what Personal Development means, wherefore it can be helpful, how one can reach a Personal Development and the most important fact: (1) That Personal Development is a privilege and not a duty. (2) You may develop your own Personality, but it is not a must. It is your own decision!

Today, the outcome of research universities and institutions, employees and project leaders are evaluated by their outcome. This outcome is measured in “Impact”. One of the elements to create impact and, of course, to get research published and discussed is writing a scientific paper for an ISI journal. INSTeG offers regular workshops for interested scientists on impact paper writing. The workshop provides participants with insights on designing a manuscript, writing the impact paper, selecting the appropriate journal and important facts that are considered by journal editors and reviewers, whether to accept a paper or not.
