The workshop, "Fit for Germany," is offered in cooperation with the German Association of Universities (Deutscher Hochschulverband) and the international consulting firm McKinsey & Company and is scheduled for Saturday, June 4th. Application and hiring processes specific to research-oriented careers in Germany, as well as general strategies for reintegration into a research career in Germany will be addressed in detail. Participation is limited and available on a first-come first-serve basis.
The symposium and career fair, entitled "Prospects for Scientists in Germany," are scheduled for Sunday, June 5th. Among the presenters will be Dr. Hubert Detmer, acting Executive Director of the Deutscher Hochschulverband, and the honorable Katherina Reiche (CDU), Member of the German Bundestag and Chair of the CDU/CSU Parliamentary Working Group on Education and Research.
