Where Ideas Grow

Living with a PhD: opportunities and career aspirations
 

22nd September 2022 | i3S, Porto

The Postdoc Appreciation Week (PAW) is an annual worldwide event that takes place during the third week of September and aims to recognize and celebrate the significant contributions of postdoctoral researchers. The celebration of this week started in 2009 by the US National Postdoc Association (NPA). Currently, many institutions worldwide celebrate this week by organizing events to create awareness to postdocs.

This year i3S joins this initiative and celebrates the contribution of i3S postdoctoral researchers to its scientific excellence and academic life.
We want to create awareness of the postdoc role and discuss the opportunities and challenges that PhD researchers face in Portugal and abroad.

Join us to celebrate the Postdoc Appreciation Week 2022!

Target: i3S researchers (Postdocs, PhD students, team and group leaders)
