Well connected during your postdoc

Personal and professional networks are an important career factor – both in academia and beyond: An idea for an innovative research project or a new methodological approach quite often emerges from exchanging knowledge and experience in formal or informal networks. At the same time, networks can serve as a stepping stone for your further professional development.

On this page, you will find an overview of subject-related networks for postdocs at the UDE and events that enable you to network across disciplines.
