This year, the very first edition of Postdoc Appreciation Week NL (#PAW-NL) will take place from September 15–19, 2025. The event aims to highlight the vital role of postdocs in academia and celebrate their successes, as well as to draw attention to their perspectives, broad potential, and needs for a successful future both within and beyond academia. APH is proud to participate in this nationwide initiative, with a range of activities organized especially for postdocs. Join us for a week of activities celebrating your dedication and hard work as a postdoc. We look forward to welcoming you!

Unfortunately, many scientists suffer from the so-called Imposter syndrome, or imposter phenomenon. They constantly evaluate themselves critically: “I'm not adding anything new”, “Others would probably have done this much better”. How do you deal with these paralyzing thoughts? In this workshop, you will receive tips on how to overcome the imposter syndrome. For example, by learning not to relate all failures to yourself. We will also discuss factors that contribute to imposter syndrome and how you can reduce them. This workshop is provided by Kiki Hohnen (Hertz training).
