FaNclub
Sharing information and experiences among PostDocs
FaNclub
The FaNclub brings together PostDocs of all career stages for informal exchange. Every evening is dedicated to a topic related to the academic career. After a keynote by an established expert, participants share their questions and experiences with the speaker and their peers. The evening ends with a dinner and talks in small groups - not least an ideal opportunity for international PostDocs to network and to learn about (university) life in Konstanz. All PostDocs of the Physics Department and of all groups working related to the SFB 1432 are welcome.
The PostDoc-Club takes place usually on the first Wednesday of the month at 18:00 in room P1138.
