It's a wrap! #PostdocAppreciationWeek 2024 is coming to an end, and we absolutely enjoyed this week! As in previous years, we were thrilled by all the contributions & hope that we were able to help #postdocs feel a bit more appreciated within the German academic system. While we, of course, hope postdocs feel valued for their contributions to science and their critical role in the system every day, we also know there’s still a lot of work to be done! 🙏 To all event organizers: We would particularly like to thank all organizations, trainers, networks, and science managers who contributed to this program. Perhaps this is a good moment to remind everyone that Sept. 25th is #ResearchAdministratorDay. Kudos to all the science managers supporting postdocs in Germany! We have met so many truly inspiring and highly motivated science managers who strive daily to make a difference for postdocs — often on limited-time contracts themselves, facing basic challenges like not being able to secure email addresses for their postdocs. 💬 In-person meetings & postdoc networks We are happy to see that Postdoc Networks actively utilized #PAWde to connect with their peers. This included sessions on Postdoc Surveys by Leibniz PostDoc Network & Max Planck PostdocNet or an event by the Network of Postdoc Representations, as well as the Kick-Off of the German Postdoc Network! In-person events, including Postdoc Nights in #Munich and #Hamburg, as well as events in #Heidelberg, #Göttingen, #Cologne, #Potsdam, #Hanover, #Düsseldorf, #Münster & #Karlsruhe brought postdocs together across the country. 🌟 We would like to extend our thanks to all scientists, networks & institutions who made us of the PAWde to recognize & appreciate their postdocs via videos & post series including Prof. Dr. Benjamin Burkhard's video (on X) Dr. Chandni Natalia Kumar's video for the Munich Postdoc Network Institute of Molecular Biology (IMB) CEPLAS - Cluster of Excellence on Plant Sciences Junior Scientist and International Researcher Center, HHU Paul-Langerhans-Institut Dresden of the German Center for Diabetes Research (DZD e.V.) Leibniz-Institut für Gemüse- und Zierpflanzenbau (IGZ) Jena School for Microbial Communication TH Köln Helmholtz-Zentrum Potsdam - Deutsches GeoForschungsZentrum GFZ Max Planck Institute for Biology Tübingen Electric Energy Storage Systems Group - Leibniz Universität Hannover - IfES EES 🤩 We also particularly appreciate that Research in Germany, Kooperationsstelle EU der Wissenschaftsorganisationen (KoWi), Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft (DFG) - German Research Foundation, German Scholars Organization e.V. (GSO), Deutscher Hochschulverband (DHV) & many other organizations are supporting this initiative! Across the borders, we would like to thank the PostDoc Office in Graz and EURAXESS Luxembourg for keeping an eye on our activities!
