Donders Institute Postdoc Appreciation Week event

Tuesday 22 September 2026, 2 pm - 6 pm
Self-advocacy & recognition of postdocs

Join us for an inspiring afternoon bringing together Donders postdocs during Postdoc Appreciation Week.

We start with a brief update on postdoc support, career development opportunities, and upcoming initiatives at the Donders Institute.

The programme continues with an interactive keynote by negotiation expert Mira Vasic on self-advocacy. Discover practical negotiation strategies to confidently navigate conversations about authorship, funding, workload, development opportunities, and your next career step.

The afternoon concludes with our Appreciation ceremony, celebrating the valuable contributions of Donders postdocs. Curious whether your supervisor nominated you? Join us to find out who will be recognised with words of appreciation.

Afterwards, stay for drinks and connect with your fellow postdocs.
