Speaker:

This event is part of an event series „Early Career Training“.

Everyone knows that having a good network is important. But how do you build such a (lasting) network in academia? And what kind of networks are useful? We have invited several PIs to share their experiences with us and to discuss strategies to building a successful network. During the roundtable we will address topics such as:

  • Advantages/disadvantages of horizontal and vertical networking
  • Networking within the home institution and outside
  • How to use social media/digital platforms (e.g. Twitter, Academia.edu, ResearchGate, LinkedIn) for networking purposes
  • How to best use conferences and workshops to build a sustainable network
  • Invited talks and research stays as an opportunity for network expansion
  • Involvement/membership in professional societies and their early career groups as well as in women networks

The event will take place in Y213 and on Zoom. A Zoom-link will be sent to all Cluster members shortly before the event.

Discussants:  Thomas Kurer, Tamara Rathcke, Almuth Scholl & Mara Yerkes (External Senior Fellow, Utrecht University)
