Career Orientation and Skills Training for Postdocs

Programme

Workshops, Trainings, Lectures and Events

Throughout the year, we offer an array of free-of-charge workshops, trainings, lectures and events with the aim to support postdocs and young leading scientists gain transferable skills, career connections and knowledge of employment options.

We carefully select expert trainers to teach interactive, small group workshops in a variety of relevant subjects. We issue a certificate of completion for each participant at the end of a training. Lectures on important issues like the ‘Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz’ are regularly available. The overview table contains events for all areas of our programmes.
