👏 A special shoutout to our speakers for sharing their valuable insights – Your words left a lasting impact and hearing your stories was truly inspiring!
Our speakers' #takeaways on why internships are important:
Internships…
🔎... are a unique opportunity to broaden your horizon and discover something new!
🔄 ... are a good way to get your foot in the door when it comes to transition from PhD / Postdoc to industry.
🛤 ... allow you to figure out which career path might be the right one for you.
🗺 ... give you the chance to explore living in a new country or city and to find out where you would like to live in the future.
🤝 … are great for getting insights into new working atmospheres – how do different types of companies and teams work? How are they structured, and what can I learn from them for conducting my research as a doctoral researcher or postdoc?
Their top 3 tips:
1️⃣ Be confident and approach everyone you meet regardless of their status, try to take part in as many events and meetings as possible to expand your network!
2️⃣ Visit career fairs and connect with companies and interesting people – you never know which opportunities and new perspectives may follow!
3️⃣ While applying ask yourself: which company do you really want to get to know? Ask your peers, PI, and supervisor if they have any information that may help you!
We look forward to seeing you again in a Career Center one-on-one coaching or at our next event! 🚀 #CareerTalk #CareerCenter #DoctoralResearcher #Postdoc

💡 As part of the Impulse and Networking Fund of the Helmholtz-Gemeinschaft a funded internship program for postdocs was set up in 2023. Seven postdoctoral researchers were selected to undertake up to 2.5-month internships at industrial companies. Last year the first five postdoctoral researchers started their internships at SCG Cell Therapy (Shanghai, China), Gubra (Hørsholm, Denmark), AstraZeneca (Gothenburg, Sweden), UpNano GmbH (Vienna, Austria), and Immunic Therapeutics (Gräfelfing, Germany).
