Young Researcher Network - YOUR Network in Nanosciences
Who are we?
The Young Researcher Network YOURNET is a network of young researchers of the Center for Nanointegration Duisburg-Essen. It offers a platform for internal networking, informal exchange and career promotion (acquisition of third-party funding, application for professorships, etc.).
What are our goals?
- forum for interdisciplinary exchange of experience
- network on a scientific and private level
- promote common research cooperations
- bundle and expand technical resources
- support of individual career planning
What do we do exactly?
- regular meetings in a relaxed atmosphere for personal and professional exchange
- special coachings for various topics, acquisition of third-party funds, teaching, publications and more
- common (leisure time) activities
