The young scientists' academy

15+ Years of Experience

ysa was founded in 2021 by Dr. Matthias Mayer. All trainers bring in many years of experience. Most of the formats have been executed and proven for over 15 years - then under "Matthias Mayer Seminars & Coaching" (mmsc.de) - and are constantly being further developed.

Online-Seminars that are Fun

We use the excellent possibilities of Zoom etc. to create an optimized, interactive learning environment. Our live online seminars use small groups, role plays, energizers, partner exercises and much more, which make our seminars entertaining and exciting. Let yourself be surprised!

First-Class Feedback

Our seminars and courses generally receive very good feedback. We are happy to send interested institutions sample course evaluations on request. For over 15 years we have been collecting feedback after every course and continue learning from it. This is another reason why our formats are so good.

Optimal Transfer to Daily Practice

Our courses have two main goals:
1. You get exactly the content you need.
2. You can later apply what you have learned successfully.
We optimize this sustainability with a sophisticated system. In case of live online seminars, this includes querying individual learning goals beforehand and a "test phase" afterwards - as well as post-seminar partnerships amongst the participants.

A game-changer for me

Matthias is incredibly enthusiastic about his work and also talked about his own experiences and struggles [...] it was [his] way of communicating that encouraged me to reflect and then be consistent in using the tools that I found most helpful.

You will never regret this decision!

I felt like I was sitting at the real classroom even though it`s online [...] I benefited a lot during this seminar. [...] I received a lot of valuable feedbacks about giving talks on stage. I would strongly recommend you to attend this seminar. You will never regret this decision!

Thanks a lot, Dr. Matthias Mayer!

[...] I highly recommend other PhD candidates and PostDocs to participate his course. [...] my CV change drastically, even though I’ve visited a few similar job application courses during my bachelor in both Taiwan and in Germany. [...] Thanks a lot, Dr. Matthias Mayer!

erfrischend anders

Der Workshop zu Zeitmanagement mit Matthias war erfrischend anders: sehr interaktiv [...] und sehr persönlich. [... Ich habe] für mich vor allem eine andere Sichtweise auf Zeit, Arbeit und mein Potenzial mitgenommen. Ich frage nicht mehr: „Wie soll ich so viele Aufgaben in so kurzer Zeit bewältigen?“ sondern eher: „Wie kann ich die Zeit für mich und meine Ziele optimal nutzen?“.
Ich bin mir sicher, dass das Seminar nachhaltig einen positiven Einfluss nicht nur auf meine ArbeitsZeit, sondern auch auf meine LebensZeit haben wird.

... definitely deserves participation

The most important things I learned from the course are setting the priority and how to say no [...] This [course] gave me a chance to deeply think about my daily routines and what is really important for myself [...]

I could raise my presentation skills from good to excellent [...] Strongly recommended!

Matthias was very professional, enthusiastic, and patient and he gave us the feeling that he was interested in helping each one of us to develop their skills in the directions we needed. [...] Strongly recommended!

Geballte Zeit für Denkanstöße

Das Seminar [...] bietet eine geballte Zeit für Denkanstöße um ebendiese Balance zu finden [...] Matthias ist die Person, die dir zeigt, was du alles für deine Reise brauchst und dir hilft deinen Rucksack zu packen! Er erklärt auf eine sehr inspirierende und ermutigende Art bildliche Analogien und Metaphern, die im Gedächtnis bleiben und dich auf deinem Weg begleiten.

What luck to be offered a place in his energetic courses

I felt supported and considered throughout, and came away with valuable tips and methods that I would not have easily come across otherwise. [...] I am definitely looking forward to taking more in the future!
