Program of the Young Professionals in Soil Science during the Annual Meeting 2022: Trier, 03.09 – 09.09.22
Pre-Meeting
Friday (02/09) - Sunday (04/09) - Organisation: Jeroen Zethof, Katrin Schulz, Lilli Zeh
This DBG meeting the YPSS comes with a new activity: the pre-meeting. Especially after the corona years, it will be great to meet each other offline and see all the new and old faces. Starting on Friday (2nd September), we will have dinner at our accommodation, the Jugendherberge Trier (Youth hostel) before enjoying the evening at the riverside of the Moselle. On Saturday we will explore a tributary of the Moselle, the Saar, by canoe and the surrounding of Trier by foot, before we will enjoy a well-deserved dinner in a historical wine cellar in Trier. On Sunday you can join the DBG Soil contest, an excursion, or explore Trier at your own pace.
Bei dieser DBG Jahrestagung gibt es eine neue Aktivität der YPSS (Young Professionals in Soil Science): das Vortreffen. Vor allem nach der Corona-Zeit wollen wir uns offline treffen, um all die neuen und alten Gesichter kennenzulernen und wieder zu sehen. Am Freitag (2. September) starten wir mit einem Abendessen in unserer Unterkunft, der Jugendherberge Trier, bevor wir den Tag am Moselufer ausklingen lassen. Am Samstag erkunden wir einen Nebenfluss der Mosel, die Saar, per Kanu und die Umgebung von Trier zu Fuß, bevor wir ein wohlverdientes Abendessen in einem historischen Trierer Gewölbekeller genießen. Am Sonntag kannst du am DBG Soil Contest oder an einer Exkursion teilnehmen, oder Trier auf eigene Faust entdecken.
Exchange Talk: Matthias Rillig – How to network in Science?Monday (05/09), 12:15h – 13:15h, room B12 - Host: Lydia Pohl
Networking can be one of the most powerful tools for your career development. It can help you to increase the quality of your research, address more complex and interdisciplinary problems within your scientific field, and direct you to open positions or funding opportunities. As an early-career scientist, it is particularly important to build up an impactful network at an early stage. Together with Matthias Rillig (FU Berlin), we will discuss how you can start building up your own network, how you get the most out of conferences, and how social media can help you to expand and maintain your network.
