ViewMeet the Expert
Wir laden Expertinnen und Experten aus Wissenschaft und Wirtschaft an die JLU ein und geben den Promovierenden und PostDocs der beteiligten Arbeitsgruppen die Möglichkeit, in einem vertraulichen Rahmen Fragen zu stellen und Kontakte zu knüpfen.
ViewAlumni Talks
With our Alumni Series, we want to establish a format that will help you discover the opportunities that lie ahead and what you can do today, to get there in the future. We invite speakers with an academic background in the natural sciences who have advanced inside or outside of academia. We encourage you to take advantage of the diversity of perspectives, even if the speaker is not from the exact same field as you. Whether you are currently at a point of decision, want to plan ahead, or are just curious, we invite you to attend. This format is for PhD students, PostDocs, and master students who want to advance in their careers, are looking for new job opportunities or simply want to form connections.
ViewLecture Series: Family and Career
Currently, family friendliness is highly popular at German universities. But how much of it actually affects families? How, especially, do we satisfy the needs of up-and-coming junior researchers and scientists? In order to find answers to these questions and inspiration for new ways of family friendliness, the Giessen graduate centres, the Career Centre, the Research Campus of Central Hessen and the International Office with the support of the Women’s Representative host a number of events (e.g. a series of lectures or information events with panel discussions).
