On 11 May, 2020 the opening celebration of the new Career Center for Postdocs (COAST) took place.

Due to the Covid 19 restrictions, it was not possible to hold the event in the Hamburg lecture hall as planned.

Instead, there was a virtual opening ceremony, to which a total of around 100 invited guests attended. An exciting, new experience for all those involved. Katja Frerks and Vera Petersen moderated the two-hour event. Both are responsible for the COAST project as the management team and introduced the entire COAST team at the beginning: Peter Schmidt, officer, Annette Leemans, career counselor for Hamburg, Lia Lang, career counselor for Zeuthen. A project assistant will join the team soon.
