Forschungsfördertage / Research Funding Days 2024
A career in science depends above all on the acquisition of research funding. However, good research conditions, mentors and personal strategy are just as important. Within the scope of the Research Funding Days, we want to discuss together which factors have an influence on a successful academic career and introduce research funding opportunities for the early career phase.

09:00-10:00 | Input During the presentation you interactively explore essential points which make an academic career successful. Before embarking on this journey, you must understand your personal and career goals, and gather information about the academic labour market and its requirements. It's also vital to plan for potential future positions or even consider exit strategies from academia. |

11:05-12:00 | Panel discussion What is important when planning your own (academic) career? How good are your chances of getting a job in Academia? Do you have to go abroad? How do you find mentors?
