Networking and Community Building
Networking activities among postdocs and senior researchers will continue to foster peer-level exchange. Peer tandems will be initiated to strengthen collegial interaction, providing peers with the opportunity to give feedback and offer advice.

In contrast to doctoral candidates, postdocs (R2) and senior researchers (R3) constitute a more heterogeneous status group among scientists. An important goal is therefore to foster community building within this group through exchange and networking events within ESRAH and CLICCS.

Lunch Series for Postdocs and Senior Researchers

The Lunch Series is a set of informal lunchtime meetings designed to foster exchange among postdocs and senior researchers. The sessions provide a space to discuss topics such as interdisciplinary working, connecting research in CLICCS II and beyond, career development, funding opportunities, leadership, work-life balance, and broader academic perspectives. The format is intended to encourage open dialogue, peer learning, and networking across the community.

We meet every last Thursday of the month from 12:00 to 13:30 at Haus der Erde. Each session will focus on a different topic and provide an opportunity to exchange ideas, share experiences, and connect with colleagues across disciplines.

Interested in joining? Please contact Alexandra Franzke to let us know you would like to participate. Shortly before each meeting, we will send a reminder with the details of the meeting, including the exact location.

We look forward to seeing you!
