Networking
Personal networks are an indispensable resource. The exchange and networking within the peer group is extremely valuable for the successful design of your career phase. Professional networks make it possible to share experiences and system knowledge, discuss common issues, and receive new impulses for personal and professional development.
Professional networks are also an important door opener for careers within and outside of academia. A well-maintained network is therefore a worthwhile investment in your own professional future.
Postdoc Impuls
Postdoc Impuls is a regular networking format consisting of a professional impulse and informal exchange. The format is aimed at researchers in the first postdoc phase (about 1-3 years after the doctorate). Participants exchange experiences and thereby gain important system knowledge for professional success. Through the exchange with their own peer group, the professional network is also expanded and strengthened in a targeted manner.
The topics of the individual events are determined by you and include the following areas:
- Personal position determination
- Strategic planning of the postdoc phase
- Role identification
- ...
The networking format Postdoc Impuls will take place approximately every 2-3 months in an 1.5-hour moderated exchange. You will receive the current dates via the Research Support Services and Graduate Center mailing list and you can find them in our event program.
