When did you become a member of the GGL?

 Where do you work now and in which position? Industry or university?

I’m working in Industry, CSL Behring, currently as Validation Manager.

GGL provides various opportunities to train and hone soft skills in addition to research activities. These various soft skills (including but not limiting to Presentation skills, German language, Networking) helped me to where I am today.

Yes, there could be no other answer to this question. I really liked interdisciplinary seminars and being one of the organizers for GGL conferences.

Soft skills, career day events, Mentoring networks.

Would you recommend the GGL for young students, who consider obtaining a doctorate in life sciences?
