- Invitation to the GGL Career Day 2023
- The GGL Career Day is primarily aimed at doctoral candidates in the life sciences, master's students and postdocs and provides impulses for the career orientation of young scientists. This year we will explore how new professional opportunities have developed from the Covid pandemic. The topics will also include science management, research and development in industry, and crisis management in the public sector. A recruiter will explain how companies develop young talent in trainee programmes. You can also learn how to get your research funded if you stay in academia.
- Graduation and Welcome Ceremony 2022
- Our warmest congratulations to our Graduating Class of 2022! Caused by the COVID pandemic, you had to absolve a big part of your Curriculum online – that’s what made the Graduating Ceremony on 30 November 2022 special – as many of our 26 new Alumni were finally able to meet in person! The Ceremony was a great evening with many highlights including the festive handover of the certificates, the awarding of the Dr. Herbert Stolzenberg Publication Award for Research in the Life Sciences and the Welcome for 59 new GGL members.

- Testimonials of our Alumni
-
While we hosted our Life Science Bridges Event in the summer of 2017, we interviewed some of our alumni about their time as a member of the GGL. We also asked them to pass some advice and experience on to new generations of young researchers. Take a look at their testimony to find out, where they are now and what they have to say.
