This one-day workshop, conducted by Dr. Anne Schreiter, supports international researchers in planning their next career steps within or beyond academia in Germany. Participants reflect on their strengths, values, and goals and learn how to connect these to real opportunities in different sectors. A key focus is on defining and communicating a clear professional message – and adapting it to diverse audiences such as academic institutions, research organizations, or potential employers. The session also covers networking, visibility, and useful resources for further exploration, helping participants shape a career strategy that feels both authentic and adaptable.
