MM Connect

Veranstaltungsreihe von und für Promovierende und Postdocs
© MM

Das Veranstaltungsformat "MM Connect" bietet jungen Wissenschaftlerinnen und Wissenschaftlern des Clusters die Möglichkeit, sich regelmäßig auszutauschen. Sie können sich und ihr Forschungsprojekt vorstellen (MM Arrival), sich verabschieden, wenn der nächste Karriereschritt ansteht (MM Departure) und sich über Tools, Konzepte und Erfahrungen austauschen (MM Impulse). Mit MM Common Ground haben erfahrene Wissenschaftler:innen eine Plattform, um ihre Sicht auf das akademische Leben zu teilen und persönliche Tipps an Nachwuchswissenschaftler:innen weiterzugeben. Im MM ReConnect geben ehemalige Mitglieder Einblicke in ihre Karrierewege in- und außerhalb des akademischen Systems nach ihrer Zeit in Münster.

Die Veranstaltungsreihe findet alle zwei bis drei Wochen freitags um 14 Uhr im MM Conference Centre oder via Zoom statt.
