We invite experts from research/science and economy to so-called Career Talks to present their own career paths and talk about their work life. The participants have the opportunity to get to know different career paths and to ask the experts questions. This exchange can initiate first professional connections to companies or other institutions and existing networks can be extended. Please find our current events here.

We would also like to draw your attention to SciNet, a Network for Young Scientists and Academics at the University of Freiburg that was established in 2011 with the support of the university’s rectorate. The network is aimed at young, independent researchers in their postdoctoral phase working at Freiburg university and striving for a career in academia.
