You are a postdoc at a German university? Join us for the annual "Postdoc Appreciation Week" from September 16 to 20, 2024. Across Germany, research institutions, organisations and postdoc networks will offer a collective programme with in-person as well as online events and activities specifially for postdocs. "Postdoc Appreciation Week" is meant to provide attention, visibility and support to postdocs, to promote and highlight existing postdoc networks and services, to create new connections and to integrate international postdocs.

The programme is organized by The Munich Postdoc Network and the Research and Innovation Services of the Leibniz University of Hannover (LUH). The Academic Staff Development at the University of Konstanz will contribute to the programme, and postdocs from Konstanz will be able to participate in in-person and online events and activities all over Germany.

More information on the programme and how to register for events will follow in the course of the summer term on the central PAW website: https://paw-germany.de/.
