Gemeinsam mit dem Forum Rathenau e.V. lädt das Institut français Sachsen-Anhalt Sie herzlich zur diesjährigen Nacht der Ideen ein, die am 18. Juni 2026 im ehemaligen Kraftwerk Zschornewitz in Gräfenhainichen stattfindet. Unter dem Titel „Bewohnbarkeit der Erde – Auf welchem Boden stehen wir?“ bringt die Veranstaltung wissenschaftliche, künstlerische und zivilgesellschaftliche Perspektiven zusammen und fragt, wie wir die ökologischen und gesellschaftlichen Umbrüche unserer Zeit nicht nur analysieren, sondern auch gemeinsam verhandelbar machen können – und welche Rolle die Kunst dabei spielen kann.
The International Graduate Academy (InGrA) has developed a workbook for individual career development within the UNIBUND with the Universities Jena and Leipzig. The workbook “Career Development for Postdocs” (link) is designed to help you consciously shape your professional future. It provides structured impulses and practical tools to guide you. The workbook enables you to reflect on your personal goals, analyze your skills and strengths, and prepare for the next steps in your career. It can be used to prepare for a career within academia or to plan an outside-of-academic career.
Cover of workbook
Depending on your current phase as a postdoc, you can use individual exercises separately or systematically work through the content over an extended period. The workbook is also suitable for preparing for staff meetings or consultations. This way, you gain more clarity about possible options and can make well-informed decisions for your further career path.
There are free slots at one of the workshops of MLU’s grad school POLY-Sustainable Polymers graduate school POLY within AgriPoly II.
