Following the election of the new jDeGBS committee in September 2024, in this seminar we were introducing the new team, shared updates on our structure and activities, and discussed opportunities for collaboration and participation.

Learn about the future of jDeGBS and contribute to shaping it together. We look forward to your ideas, feedback, and questions as we continue to grow and innovate as a community, which you can still share with us now, even after the Seminar!

Let’s work together to advance jDeGBS!


Future in Science: Perspectives for Young Scientists in the (new) WissZeitVG December 13th, 2024 and February 7th, 2025

„The times they are a-changing…“

Working conditions in the German research landscape pose a number of  challenges. The ubiquitous fixed-term employment contracts are one of them. That’s why, we wanted to look at the topic of the legal framework, the Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz (WissZeitVG).

As the topic is so extensive, we did announce not only one but two seminar dates with two great speakers.

In Part 1 Ms. Sonja Staack from ver.di gave us a general overview of the WissZeitVG. As the presentation did contain many legal terms, unlike the other jDeGBS Online Seminars, it was held in German.

In Part 2 Mr. Daniel Behruzi from TU Darmstadt gave us more practical examples of how to work with the WissZeitVG in English.
