GAIN24 Annual Conference and Talent Fair

GAIN organizes an annual conference at which internationally mobile scientists from Germany exchange ideas with numerous representatives from the German scientific landscape, politics and industry. The conference consists of panel discussions, interactive workshops and lectures on the international scientific landscape and career opportunities in Germany. At the extensive Talent Fair you can also find out about specific funding and job opportunities in Germany and make contacts with research institutes, scientific organizations and universities.

A series of workshops and lectures will provide advice for individual career development. The focus is on topics such as setting up junior research groups, applying for a professorship, careers in business and in science management as well as strategies for dual career couples and families. Various network receptions complete the program.
