SFB 1372 hosted its first Young Researchers Symposium on 25-26 November 2021, online. The symposium was organised entirely by PhD students and postdocs, and is aimed at fellow young researchers from a broad range of scientific fields.

The two-day symposium featured talks by fellow junior researchers, in addition to two keynote lectures given by Prof. Marie Dacke (Lund University) and Prof. Nikita Chernetsov (St Petersburg University). In addition, there was an impulse workshop given by Stephanie Trapp: "My Body and Me - Power and Strength of Body Language / Confident Appearance on the Public Stage". We also hosted an informal social session where participants can explore future career choices by chatting with PhDs who have made the transition to industry. During the coffee breaks and the online social hangout at the end of the symposium, participants could get to know each other.
