4: Networking

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.

CLICCS Kick-off: Early Career Researcher Session
We will be present at the CLICCS Kick-off on march 31 and host a joint Early Career Researcher session. This session will provide space for information, questions and exchange around the postdoc phase within CLICCS, including information on available support structures and opportunities. We will be available to answer questions and look forward to connecting with you there.

Lunch Series for Postdocs and Senior Researchers
Following the Kick-off, we will launch a series of Lunch Talks. These informal lunchtime sessions are designed to facilitate exchange on topics relevant to postdocs and senior researchers — such as career development, funding opportunities, leadership, work-life balance, and academic perspectives. The format aims to create an open space for discussion, peer learning, and networking.
