The Advisory Board of the German Postdoc Network (GPN) brings together experts from diverse backgrounds—across academia, industry, politics, and research support, both in Germany and internationally. The board was established to accompany and support the further development of our network, providing constructive feedback, strategic guidance, and helping us position the GPN within the broader academic landscape. In addition to advising on our activities and consolidation process, members act as valuable connectors, opening doors to new stakeholders and collaborations.

The Advisory Board meets twice a year and receives regular reports on the network’s activities and plans. During these meetings, representatives from the coordination office, regional groups, and working groups present their work and receive direct feedback and input. Beyond the meetings, board members remain available as points of contact for ongoing dialogue.

We are deeply grateful to our Advisory Board members for their commitment and engagement, and we look forward to continuing to develop the German Postdoc Network together in line with our shared mission and vision.
