POSTDOC ACTIVITIES

4 June – Postdoc Social

What: Postdoc Social - ALL WELCOME
When:  Thursday 4 June from 18:00
Why: an opportunity to share ideas and find solutions together. Meet other researchers, talk to members of the Postdoc Committee and let them know what you would like from your Network and next Postdoc Fair. Stop for a drink or a bite to eat and stay for as long or as little as you like. It helps if you RSVP to the Postdoc Coordinator but also fine to turn up spontaneously.

Other: we’ll be in the garden behind the café if it’s warm and sunny
Everyone welcome: organised by postdocs for postdocs to provide an opportunity for company, connection and escape from the lab.

If you’re passing through Göttingen, pop in and get to know other researchers.

Göttingen’s 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 this event is here. The next Postdoc Fair will be in March 2027.
