National Postdoc Appreciation Week is just around the corner, taking place 15-19 September 2025

UK National Postdoc Appreciation Week (UKNPAW) is an annual nationwide event celebrating the vital contributions postdocs make to research and academic life.

This year, from Monday 15 September to Friday 19 September 2025, events will take place to connect and support researchers. To celebrate, you can attend a special online flagship event: “From surviving to thriving: planning your future” designed to help you take control of your career path. Join to explore self-leadership and hear from those who have successfully navigated their own professional journeys.

The event will feature a screening of “Postdoc: The Musical,” an entertaining musical celebrating the lives and achievements of postdocs. Following the film, Dr Chris Russell will deliver a masterclass on resilience and self-leadership in an uncertain world. The event will conclude with a discussion featuring a diverse panel of academics who will share their career journeys and offer tips on navigating professional uncertainties.
