POSTDOC DAY 2025
The Broad Spectrum of Bonn's Science Scape

Save the Date: Postdoc Day 2025 - The Broad Spectrum of Bonn's Science Scape

Orientation, Networking and Career Opportunities for Postdocs

The German research landscape includes a broad variety of research institutions. From universities, universities of applied sciences, technical universities, universities of music and the arts to non-university research institutions, federal and state research institutions and research-based industry. A scientific education (doctorate) can therefore lead to many career paths, depending on the contribution one wishes to make to society and to the cultivation of knowledge through research.

The Postdoc Day 2025 will be an unique opportunity to get to know the work at local research institutions belonging to the nationally funded research organizations and think tanks. You can network with colleagues across departments and institutions and to get to know central contact persons at the various institutions.

That’s something for you? Mark your calendar!
