Career Impulse Sessions offer a platform for interactive and informal exchange about career-related topics. I’m happy to announce that Dr. Christina Schütte will join our first Career Impulse Session. She is co-founder of the ProSciencia Beratungs-GmbH and senior consultant, specialized in grant writing, scientific writing, presentation and scientific project management. Her career calls attention to one of the many career paths besides academia and industry.
During the session, she will tell us about her career, how it was influenced and which career lessons she draws from experience. You will have the chance to raise questions and discuss with her, the group of participants and me about career decisions.
The session will take place on 6 June 2013, 14 o’clock in the GZMB building, Justus-von-Liebig-Weg 11, room 0.232.
I will organize some food and drink. If you are interested to take part, please let me know via e-mail (ggnb-career@gwdg.de) for organizational reasons. If you are not registered in our database, please do so in addition.
