Wednesday, September 23, 2026, 12:30-14:00, online

The German academic landscape can feel complex—especially for postdocs who are new to its structures, terminology, and regulations. This concise workshop offers an introduction to essential features of the German research system, including typical career pathways, the role of the Habilitation, common contract types, and the implications of the Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz (WissZeitVG). Designed for international and German postdocs alike, the session provides input combined with interactive elements and time for questions. You will leave with a foundational understanding of how the German academic system works and what it means for your postdoctoral trajectory.
