UK Postdoc Appreciation Week (PAW) is an annual nationwide event celebrating the contribution postdocs make to research and academic life.
This year, Postdoc Appreciation Week runs from Monday 16 September to Friday 20 September with free events taking place to connect and support researchers.
The PAW flagship event this year, Into the Postdoc-verse: building relationships across dimensions, will explore how to authentically network and build long-lasting relationships across disciplines/sectors. This will include live networking sessions to practice and build connections right away as well as a keynote talk by Dr Steve Cross, founder of Bright Club.
The event takes place 10am – 12.15pm, Monday 16th September. Register here: https://event-lab.co.uk/paw/
To celebrate the 5th anniversary of PAW, free online 1-2-1 careers sessions are also available on Tuesday 17th September for those who do no have institutional support for careers/CV clinic. Sign up here: https://tinyurl.com/UKNPAWcareers
