Young Researchers Day

The Young Researchers Day is the annual central career event for doctoral students and postdocs at KU.

The aim of the event is to provide ideas for personal career development and to promote networking among young researchers at the KU and thereby also to encourage interdisciplinary exchange.

‘Stay mentally healthy during the qualification phase!’ is the motto of YRD 2025.

Scientific studies show that the mental health of researchers in early stages of their careers has a significant impact on their well-being, research performance and further career development. Based on these research findings, we would like to invite you to explore this topic, work on it and deepen your understanding through the exchange of ideas and experiences.

Some workshop sessions can be offered in English on demand. If you are interested, please register for the English version of the session. Questions and answers in English are always welcome
