05. September 2014 Kiel University and the Cluster of Excellence “The Future Ocean” at the GAIN Conference in Boston



The 14th annual GAIN conference will take place in Boston (USA) from September 5-7, 2014. GAIN stands for German Academic International Network and is the largest conference outside of Europe for young German scientists conducting research in the USA or Canada who are seeking to get back in touch with German scientific institutions, universities or industry. The organizers expect more than 400 young researchers from all scientific areas, especially from Biology, Medicine, Chemistry, Physics, Informatics, Engineering and the Humanities.

 

The conference concerns itself with the various opportunities for young scientists to continue their careers in German and gives practical tips for applying for positions.

Kiel University with its Clusters of Excellence “The Future Ocean” and “Inflammation at Interfaces” as well as the graduate school “Human Development in Landscapes” will present the research profile of the university at the conference. “Kiel University with its focus areas and research networks is attractive for young researchers from the USA and Canada. And we want to make the clever people currently conducting research in an international environment aware of our programs,” says Dr. Gesche Braker, Coordinator of the Future Ocean postdoc network IMAP (Integrated Marine Postdoc Network).
