MM Connect

Event series by and for doctoral researchers and Postdocs
© MM

The event format "MM Connect" offers young scientists of the Cluster the opportunity to exchange ideas regularly. They can present themselves and their research project (MM Arrival), say goodbye when the next career step is due (MM Departure) and exchange tools, concepts and experiences (MM Impulse). With MM Common Ground experienced researchers can contribute to MM Connect by sharing their insights into life in academica and providing personal advice for early career researchers. With MM ReConnect former members provide insights into their career paths in and outside academia after leaving Mathematics Münster.

MM Connect will be held every two to three weeks on Fridays at 2 pm at the MM Conference Centre.
