JungeFeste

JungeFeste is a group of young researchers within the GDCh Division of Solid-State Chemistry & Materials Research that represents the concerns and interests of young scientists in these fields. This includes all interested members of the Divisions who do not yet have a permanent position: from students to junior professors. JungeFeste sends two people as permanent guests to the Board of the Division to ensure direct connection. Members of JungeFeste have access to the mentoring program as well as various events and workshops. All news can be found in our newsletter and on social media. You can find the complete overview at linktr.ee/jungefeste.

Virtual meetings for getting to know each other, networking, and socializing take place every fourth Friday of the month at 3:00 PM. For general suggestions, questions, or ideas, please contact Maximilian Stremel (Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf) or Irina Zaytseva (Ludwig Maximilian University Munich).

For anyone who wants to actively participate in the JungeFeste , there is a planning email list where everything from ideas to organizational details is discussed. Membership is open to everyone, and we welcome any support, ideas, or contributions.

JungeFeste Mentoring
The JungeFeste Mentoring program is aimed at Master's students, doctoral candidates, postdocs, habilitation candidates, and junior professors, and is designed to support participants in their career development. We coordinate the matching of suitable mentors and mentees and support the pair throughout the mentoring period, addressing various questions related to the mentor-mentee relationship. Contact persons are Heidi Schwartz (University of Innsbruck) and Frank Tambornino (Philipps University of Marburg).

JungeFeste Events
The working group focuses on organizing events for early-career researchers in the Division of Solid-State Chemistry & Materials Research. In addition to the ongoing Online lecture series JFK – JungeFesteKolloquium, we are also planning in-person events such as conference sessions and workshops. If you have event ideas or need support, please contact Sebastian Klemenz (Fraunhofer IWKS, Alzenau/Hanau) or Simon Steinberg (RWTH Aachen University University).

JungeFeste Communication
The JungeFeste Communications group organizes all aspects of public relations and networking – both within the JungeFeste network itself, through newsletters and monthly virtual meetings, and externally via the content of this website, maintenance of the social media presence (X: JungeFeste), and networking with related groups. If you are interested in supporting us, please send an email to Markus Suta (Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf) or Günther Thiele (Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg).
