Göttingens Postdoc Support and Information Fair

THANK YOU to all the inspiring experts and researchers at Göttingen’s Postdoc Support and Information Fair 2026!
Over 100 experts from near and far, industry and academia, 200 attendees from across Göttingen. We just added coffee and around six m2 of pizza to spark off positive, lively connections. A special thank you to those who returned to Göttingen in 2026 to share their challenges, tips and wiggly career paths! And thanks to the teams who shared advice about careers, funding, training and more. It was great to have you, the researchers, there! Info about last year’s event is here.
The next Postdoc Fair will kick off at 14:30 on Thursday 18 March 2027. We look forward to seeing you there!
