Presentations and conference participation

Presentations at specialist conferences, colloquia or similar occasions are worthwhile for you on your academic career path in several aspects.

On the one hand, many appointment committees regard presentations at renowned conferences as a quality mark of your academic performance. In addition, your audience can give you valuable feedback on your research work. At the same time, you improve your scientific visibility by presenting yourself to the professional community. This generally also expands your scientific network and makes further invitations to conferences or guest lectures more likely.

As a panel organiser, moderator or commentator, you will also have the opportunity to come into contact with other scientists.
