This meeting is the opportunity for us to come together to identify “hot” topics, develop strategies, and maybe even form new working groups for the upcoming year.

This event is all about collaboration and empowerment, and your presence will contribute significantly to its success! It’s important to stress that everything the Network accomplishes (or has already accomplished) depends entirely on the involvement and ideas of our postdoc community, which is why your input is so invaluable!

Meeting details:

Date: November 16^th and 17^th, 2023

Time: Lunch-to-lunch format
