Register now: Virtual "To be Honest-Conference - Career Real Talk for Researchers" on December 5 & 6, 2024

The tbh-conference, organized by the German Scholars Organization (GSO), provides a forum where peers and experts share advice and informal knowledge - the kind that is usually based on watercooler conversations or serendipitous encounters.

The next virtual tbh-conference will take place on December 5 (03:00 - 06:00 PM) and December 6, 2024 (01:45 - 05:00 PM).

You will be able to access all sessions once registered. 

This year's topics:

  • The Future of Academia: Hands-On Ideas and What Can Be Done Today
  • WissZeitVG: Everything You Need to Know (or Didn’t Dare to Ask) About the German Academic Fixed-Term Contract Act
  • Glass Ceilings in Academia and What You Can Do About Them
  • Authentic Visibility for Researchers
  • How to Set Yourself Up for Lucky Coincidences: Academic Careers in the Humanities and Social Sciences
  • Beyond Academia: The Employer’s Perspective
  • What You Should Know and Don’t Dare to Ask About Selection Committees
The organizers' goal is to help you envision a clearer path for your academic career, manage your expectations about the next steps, and make your voice heard within the research community. While the focus is on the German academic system, these insights are valuable for researchers everywhere.
GSO welcomes registrations from researchers across all disciplines who already hold (or are close to completing) a PhD, including postdocs, new group leaders, and professors. Leaders and experts from other areas of academia are also encouraged to join.
