iDiv Postdoc Retreat 2026: Leading Self and Others with Clarity and Confidence

This year, the Postdoc Retreat focuses on leading yourself and others with clarity and confidence.

As a postdoc, you balance many roles: advancing your own research, mentoring students, collaborating across disciplines and cultures, and navigating relationships with supervisors and colleagues. Through the interactive workshop, you will explore practical strategies to strengthen your leadership skills, build resilience, and approach these challenges with greater confidence and authenticity.

Beyond the workshops, this retreat is about connection: meeting fellow iDiv postdoctoral researchers, exchanging experiences, and expanding your professional network. Step away from the demands of everyday research, gain fresh perspectives, and return to your work with renewed motivation and practical tools for the next stage of your career.
