Detailed Description:

The workshop deals with the value of PhD and postdoc experience for positions in Industry and beyond. Participants are introduced to more or less science-related career paths in the public and private sector (excluding academic careers to professorship). They learn about related technical and personal skills as well as how their PhD and postdoctoral experience might be relevant for those career paths. Moreover, participants get the opportunity to reflect their own competences and objectives as well as their suitability to these introduced career paths. Finally, participants develop an individual strategy for their next career steps.
