2024

On 8 July 2024, the BUA Postdoc Academy gathered more than 80 postdoctoral researchers at the Berlin-Brandenburg Academy of Sciences and Humanities for a full-day focus on global collaboration. Keynote speaker Christian Kobsda (Max Planck Society) outlined trends in international research partnerships, while Dr Lara Abel (University of Cambridge) shared lessons from joint projects. Trainer Dr. Jo Havemann then led a three-part workshop on building cross-border networks, refining project ideas, and pitching for funding. Mid-day, the academy unveiled its Hit the Jackpot 2024 call, inviting participants to turn their concepts into funded collaborations.
