Dear PhD students and postdocs,

Organized by PhD students of GGNB (Göttingen Graduate School for Neurosciences, Biophysics, and Molecular Biosciences) and postdocs of the University as well as the Max Planck Institutes and the European Neuroscience Institute in Göttingen, the symposium aims to attract young scientists with inspiring lectures, plenary discussions and a career fair where young researchers can explore different career options and establish important contacts to promote their career path.
With this symposium, we primarily want to address female scientists, but men are also welcome to join the discussions and learn about different career pathways.

The meeting’s goal is to bring together female PhD students and postdocsto meet successful women of varied professional backgrounds to exchange experiences and to discuss diverse career options. Presentations will be followed by interactive discussions with the participants. For more information on the program and the speakers, please visit: www.wocanet.uni-goettingen.de
In addition, the conference offers participants many opportunities to exchange their ideas and opinions, for instance during a workshop on body language and during a plenary discussion inspired by the book Lean In – Women, Work, and the Will to Lead by Sheryl Sandberg, the COO of Facebook.
Excellent networking opportunities
