GPN Theme Week 2026
August 26 @ 11:30 – August 28 @ 13:00
The theme week focuses on the future of academic careers in Germany, with special attention to the postdoctoral phase – a crucial yet structurally undefined stage in scientific career paths. It aims to unite perspectives from academia, politics, funding bodies, and research management to analyze current challenges and develop practical solutions for more reliable and diverse career trajectories.
Based on recommendations from the German Science and Humanities Council, three symposia will explore the definition of the postdoc phase, staffing structure models, and intersectoral mobility. A supporting program with plenary sessions, a world café, and a public panel discussion will foster exchange, networking, and international dialogue.
