Current events in English
The event program for the second half of 2020 is now available on our website. Together with our trainers, we have developed flexible solutions. If the current infection rate stays as it is, we will again offer face-to-face events from the end of June. Otherwise, we will stick to the online formats.
Unfortunately, we had to completely postpone the public lecture series Studium universale to the summer semester 2021. However, we are pleased that all lecturers have agreed to hold their lectures next year. The “Nacht der Wissenschaft” and the science slam we planned was also canceled.
26. Juni: Should I stay of should I go? Career Paths in- and outside Academia
This seminar is designed to reflect on one's own competences and to recognize one's own 'market value', to learn about the options and requirements for a university career and alternative career paths outside the university and to create your own career through conviction, and not by feeling a lack of perspective. It is a face-to-face event. Please note the hygiene plan of the University of Greifswald!
2. - 3. Juni: Academic Writing: How to Create Good Texts
In this workshop the process of academic writing is highlighted from the first idea through the structuring and formation of the text to its completion. It is probably a face-to-face event. Please note the hygiene plan of the University of Greifswald!
To register for courses, please use our online-course registration.

Post Doctoral Program - Make Our Planet Great Again
The MOPGA program finances research stays in France in the field of climate and the environment. This MOPGA call particularly aims at young researchers in Germany who have completed their doctorate in the past five years. The application requires the formal support of a French host institution, which agrees to take over the stay if successful. The funding amounts to € 50,000 for 12 months and may be made available to the host institution, which then concludes a post-doc contract with the award winner.
