Networking

"Teamwork makes the dream work!" John C. Maxwell's dictum also applies in academia.

Indeed, networking with people from outside your own discipline and institution can help further your academic knowledge and broaden your horizons. We encourage networking by pooling offers and facilitating contact with other young researchers based in Hamburg.

Networks

Alumni networks not only help to bring together former university members from across all disciplines and countries, they also organize unusual and interesting events. Why not take a look at the alumni pages of the different higher education institutions for yourself:

The Academy of Sciences and Humanities in Hamburg fosters lively academic exchange across all disciplines and institutions. These events, panel discussions, and receptions generally take place in the evening and are dedicated to topics of interest to academics in northern Germany and the world.

The Career Center at Universität Hamburg (UHH) has compiled a list of diverse networks on its overview page (in German only). Find programs that will help make your life as a newcomer to Hamburg easier, provide career guidance, and facilitate contact with interesting academics and researchers from other fields.

PIASTA organizes a wide range of activities to foster the exchange between German and international students at Universität Hamburg (UHH). Some of the offers are also open for doctoral researchers from all HRA member institutions.

The Buddy program for doctoral researchers of MIN Faculty at Universität Hamburg (UHH) aims to help prospectice or newly enrolled international doctoral researchers to get a good start with their doctorate and everyday life in Hamburg. Each doctoral researcher from abroad (Incoming Buddy) will be matched up with a current Hamburg doctoral researcher (Welcome Buddy) who can make the international doctoral researcher’s arrival in Hamburg easier.
