1st ABC Career Workshop for Female Researchers

Inspire the Next Generation of Young Female Scientists

1st ABC Career Workshop for Female Researchers


was successfully held on Friday, October 12, 2018 in Hanse Museum in Lübeck. To support the career planning the personal development of our GRK female researchers, we invited several female role models from academia, industry as well as science management.

  • Prof. Dr. Heike Biebermann, Charité Universitätsmedizin Berlin
  • Prof. Dr. Klaudia Brix, Jacobs University Bremen
  • Dr. Charna Dibner, University of Geneva Medical School
  • Dr. Ulrike Gerischer, Max Planck Institute of Biophysical Chemistry, Göttingen
  • Dr. Annika Schrader, Evonik Nurition & Care GmbH

During the podium discussion, the speakers shared their individual and diverse experience during the PhD, after the PhD as well in the current job. Later on students were able to engage in a personal dialogue with the speakers in the group discussions on "Top Position" and "Work Life Balance". I believe all the female researchers have learned some new strategies for their career networking and personal development. Be proud of yourself! Follow your gut feelings and true passion! Stay optimistic!Great thanks to our wonderful insider speakers!
