Path to Success: Exploring Academic Careers
The VDSEE is offering a new seminar format next summer semester (2025) called "Path to Success: Exploring Academic Careers". Since it is part of the VDSEE curriculum, PhD-candidates can get 2 ECTS for attendance.
What to expect
VDSEE-PIs and Life Science PostDocs will be invited to share their experiences on academic careers.
They will talk about their experiences in the academic world. What failures they've encountered and what they learned from them, what their strategies or habits are to maintain a healthy work-life balance while pursuing a career in academia and also how they manage the social aspects like mentorships and collaborations.
This seminar will be an engaging event and therefore some snacks and drinks will be available!
