Autumn School for female PhD candidates and female Postdocs, October 4th to 13th
"Starting into the new qualification phase successfully"
The Autumn School supports female doctoral and post-doctoral researchers with a
successful start in their new qualification phase. In impulse lectures, exchange forums, workshops and reflection formats, the implicit rules of the science system are made transparent. Moreover, participants learn how to become visible in the scientific community and how to address gender- and diversity-related challenges.
The event program consists of a combination of target group-specific offers for the respective qualification level and joint event formats. This is linked to another goal of the Autumn School, namely to promote networking among female early career researchers at Osnabrueck University across qualification levels. A total of more than 10 events will take place between 4 and 13 October, some of which will be offered on site, others online.
On-site events will take place in building 52. Please note that building 52 is not accessible from Neuer Graben but has to be entered at the back via Seminarstraße. Pass the barrier, cross the parking space and go through the glass door. There are signs leading you to room E05.
The registration deadline was August 6th, 2023.
If you have any questions, please contact herbstschule@uni-osnabrueck.de or Dr. Leonie Windt, 0541 969-4039.
