Debate «The postdoc dilemma – when to stay and when to leave academia?»
The Young Academy of Norway arranges a debate «The postdoc dilemma – when to stay and when to leave academia?».
May 23 at 20:00 in Klubben, Samfundet.
The panel discussion will be held in English and will address different topics and challenges related to the “postdoc career path”. How can you best navigate in and out of academia? How are you to balance between expectations inside and outside academia and for how long? When is it time to let go?
The event is free of charge and useful not only for postdocs, but also for PhDs. The president of DION, Nina Røkkum, will moderate the debate. Read more about the program and register here: http://akademietforyngreforskere.no/welcome-to-debate-the-postdoc-dilemma/

During our past AGM we revealed the winner of DION’s logo concept competition. Congratulations to Gabriel Ndlovu who’s submission received nearly 40% of the votes! DION would like to thank all the creative peeps who sent us a total of 46 submissions.
