Kick-Off Event German Postdoc Network (GPN)

Official launch of the German Postdoc Network (GPN), a holistic network designed to support postdocs across all fields and research institutions in Germany

Join the GPN Kick-off: "The New German Postdoc Network – Shaping the Future Together"

Virtual meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 17th 1.00-3.00 pm.

We are excited to invite you to the launch of the German Postdoc Network during this year's Postdoc Appreciation Week. This event will introduce you to our network, which is aimed at fostering community and facilitating information sharing among postdocs.

During the event, we will explore the benefits of such networks and delve into the various factors that contribute to a successful postdoc phase. We believe that success is not solely determined by securing a subsequent professorship. Instead, we will explore a broader set of key performance indicators such as personal growth, identifying one's own interests and values within the professional environment, determining career goals, developing a professional network, and maintaining a healthy work-life balance.

Join us for an engaging panel discussion featuring speakers from diverse career paths. They will share their unique insights and experiences, providing valuable perspectives on navigating the postdoc journey. Don't miss this opportunity to connect, learn, and grow with the GPN community.
