The Young Academy in Denmark invites PhD students and newly appointed postdocs to a day dedicated to celebrating life as an academic.
Yes, an academic career can be challenging and competitive. But it’s also a path filled with meaning, opportunities, and a chance to pursue your passion.
Join us for an inspiring and festive day hosted by members of the Young Academy, who bring diverse academic and personal backgrounds and are eager to share their experiences and perspectives on:
- Diverse pathways through academia
- Navigating challenges and finding opportunities
- Balancing academic work and personal life
- Going abroad – even with families
- Finding “your” people in academia
This event is designed for researchers at the beginning of their academic careers and offers both professional insights and informal networking. There is a limited number of seats reserved for PhD students and postdocs.
