Description:

This talk is organised with international researchers in mind but everyone is welcome. It is particularly of interest to anyone considering having children, those who already have children and want to make the most of the opportunities available, as well as anyone who is simply curious about how this could work for them in the future. Experts share their own experiences and advice via short presentations and discussion. Attendees will be encouraged to ask their own questions via the chat. The event is organised by the Welcome Centre and the Göttingen Campus Postdoc Network.
