Boot camp

Once a year, all the early career researchers from the cluster’s diverse range of disciplines attend talks and impulse workshops.

The topics span from good scientific practice to diversity in science to communicating science across disciplines. The boot camp aims to broaden the horizon of livMatS young scientists and promote exchange among the numerous disciplines working in the cluster.

The second generation of early career researchers in livMatS attended their retreat in Staufen on 26-27 September 2024. The retreat provided opportunity for scientific exchange, reflection on career paths, and insights on research data management.
