GGL Graduation and Welcome Ceremony 2023: Our warmest congratulations to our Graduating Class of 2023! This year’s graduates joined us at the peak of the COVID pandemic, and we are happy that we could meet 25 of our 30 new graduates in person during this beautiful ceremony. 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 48 new GGL members. We wish all our graduates the best for their future and invite you to join our alumni network at LinkedIn or our PostDoc programme.

Dr. Herbert Stolzenberg Publication Award for the Life Sciences: We are happy to announce the winners of this year’s Publication Award for Research in the Life Sciences: Rebecca Classen, PhD, (German Centre for Neurodegenerative Research) and Laura Rehneke, (Institute of Phytopathology, Justus Liebig University Giessen).

The awardees were honoured by Matthias Kamps (Commerzbank AG), representative of the Executive Board of the Dr. Herbert Stolzenberg Foundation, and Prof. Dr. Eveline Baumgart-Vogt, Director of the GGL during the recent welcome and graduation ceremony of the GGL.; Mehr ...

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.
