Join us for a retreat created for early-career researchers (PhD students and postdocs), with a focus on your career and future opportunities. Over 1.5 days we combine talks, workshops, and informal networking in the inspiring setting of Sandbjerg.
This year’s retreat explores themes such as:
Collaborating across disciplines and understanding cultural differences in research
Exploring career paths inside and outside academia
Developing transferable skills for diverse career paths
Expanding your professional network across fields and sectors
Using social media for outreach and career development
The program offers a mix of expert insights, practical sessions, and time to connect and exchange experiences with fellow young researchers.
The retreat is both professional and informal — a space to reflect, share ideas, and build networks that can support your next steps.
