Workshops

The GUM Young Scientist Workshop is regularly organized by the GUM working group “Young Scientists” (approx.once per year). The workshop is aimed at graduate students, PhD students and junior postdocs (up to 3 years after receiving their PhD) and offers the opportunity to present current results of their research projects as well as the opportunity to network with scientists at a similar career stage. The workshop consists of a short presentation of recent results, followed by extensive feedback by a panel of senior GUM members from industry, academia and regulatory agencies, the GUM Executive Committee and the GUM Education, Student and New Investigator Affairs Committee. The best oral presentation will receive the GUM presentation award.
