2025

From 23–27 June 2025, Freie Universität Berlin hosted the 13th International Staff Training Week, themed “Empowering Postdoc Support: Innovative Strategies and Global Collaboration”. After a leadership welcome, a campus scavenger hunt and summer reception set an informal tone. Over the next days, participants shared best practices on digital research tools, mentorship, and support for scholars at risk in sessions with partners from Europe, Africa, and Asia. A dedicated career day highlighted paths beyond academia and ended with a joint summer party and campus run. Throughout the program, participants exchanged expertise, built new networks, and gained practical inspiration for strengthening postdoc support at their home institutions.
