Take the Stage: Pitch & Connect

Workshop/Training | 9 July 2025, 9:30 a.m. - 1:30 p.m. | SR IV + V, CFEL | Career development / Communicating science / Doctoral Researcher / Education / PEP / PHGS / Postdoc

This year, our "Women's Career Day" series has the motto "Take the Stage: Pitch & Connect".

Highlighting research across disciplines and institutions - join us for a networking day on the Bahrenfeld Campus!

We warmly invite all female doctoral and postdoctoral researchers across Hamburg to half a day of networking, inspiration, and science. Share your research in a 5-minute flash talk, connect with fellow scientists, and enjoy a relaxed lunch reception together.

We’re delighted that Dr. Zehra Sayers will be joining us as moderator of the event. Her research has taken her across the globe, including to  institutes such as EMBL Hamburg and King's College Medical School, London. Since 1998, she has been a founding faculty member at Sabanci University (Turkey), where she played a key role in launching the Biological Sciences and Bioengineering program and establishing its laboratories. Dr. Sayers is also internationally recognized for her leadership in science diplomacy, particularly through her long-standing involvement with the SESAME synchrotron project in the Middle East.

To apply for a flash talk slot, please include:

  • The title of your talk, your scientific field and whether you'd like to receive personalized feedback on your presentation
  • Confirmation of slots will be sent shortly after the registration deadline.

Not ready to take the stage just yet?

No problem—sign up to join as a participant! Come listen, learn, and make meaningful connections with fellow women scientists across Hamburg.

Don’t miss this opportunity to engage, present, and be inspired! 

Hamburg Women in Science is part of the annual Women's Career Day series on the Science Campus Hamburg-Bahrenfeld.
