There will be snacks, coffee and other beverages, active breaks, optional writing consultations and writing prompts, as well as opportunities to network with other postdocs.

Meals are organised on a self-paid basis. If you need childcare during the event, please let us know by 24 November 2025. Registered participants will receive a detailed schedule and further information before the event.

Registration

If you would like to participate in this event and it is already marked as fully booked, you are welcome to join the waiting list. It often happens that registered participants cancel their attendance, which creates available spots. Free spots are allocated in the order of waiting list registrations. If spots become available within 72 hours before the event starts, we will notify several registrants simultaneously. These spots will then be allocated on a 'first come, first served' basis.
