What is the Postdoc Appreciation Week?

Postdoc Appreciation Week (PAW) was created in the US by the National Postdoctoral Association to recognize the significant contributions postdocs make to research and academic life in general. PAW is also celebrated in the United Kingdom and Ireland. In 2022, Leibniz Universität Hannover (LUH) and the Munich Postdoc Network (especially from Helmholtz Munich and the Max Planck Institute of Biochemistry) joined forces to establish this initiative in Germany. In 2023, the collaboration was extended to other universities, research institutions, organizations and postdoc networks across Germany to offer a joint program of events and activities for postdocs during PAW.
