_____________________________________
Over the past few years, we have observed within our institutions that international postdoctoral Fellows who wish to stay in Berlin after their Fellowships increasingly pursue careers outside academia. Beyond individual motivations, this tendency is linked to the limited availability and accessibility of academic positions in Germany, particularly for those who do not hold a degree from a German university. Assuming that many international postdocs in Berlin are dealing with similar questions about their professional future, this event invites those interested in exploring career opportunities beyond academia.
In the interactive format of a “World Café”, invited speakers who have transitioned out of academia will share their experiences at four thematic discussion tables, offering personal insights into career paths in journalism, cultural work, education, and policy-related work in NGOs and Think Tanks in Berlin. Alongside addressing the opportunities, challenges, and obstacles encountered on their career paths, the speakers will reflect on how academic skills can be applied in non-academic contexts and how to get access to the structural knowledge and networks necessary for entering alternative professional fields. There will be time for discussion, exchange and networking throughout the event.
