ACTIVITIES
* Annual 3-day Postdoc Retreats, each attended by 80-100 final year PhD students and postdocs in the life sciences. The programme focuses on career orientation and personal development and includes training workshops, a forum discussion, meet & greets with people from the wide spectrum of life sciences and inspiring seminars by speakers with a successful career in the life sciences, from both within and outside academia.
* Half-day training workshops e.g. on effective job interview and transferable skills and informative workshops e.g. on knowledge valorisation or entrepreneurship.
* Company visits to companies in the Dutch life sciences sector who are keen to employ young PhDs. The interactive programme may consist of plenary sessions, workshops, a tour at the company premises or combinations thereof for in-depth career orientation.
* Networking events organized specifically for postdocs and PhD students to interact with (potential employers from) biobusinesses and intermediary organisations.

Algemene informatie
The mission of the Postdoc Career Development Initiative is to support talented young scientists in career orientation and development.
Following a PhD thesis or postdoc position, researchers need to make important decisions on their career. The traditional academic career path is generally well-known, while alternative career paths are experienced as more difficult to oversee.
At PCDI, we believe that PhDs -as highly qualified knowledge workers- have a lot to offer to the Dutch economy/society. PCDI therefore aims to be a mediator between PhDs and the world of Life Sciences: academia, industry, public private partnerships and others.
PCDI encourages researchers to pursue continued personal development during their employment in order to make most out of their potential. PCDI supports early career researchers at identifying and the acquiring relevant professional competencies. This includes familiarization with science outreach, knowledge valorisation and entrepreneurship, matters that go beyond mere acquisition of scientific techniques.
PCDI negotiates for the interests of early career researchers with policymakers from academia and businesses, involved in talent development to better liaise the availability of highly qualified knowledge workers and the economic demand.
PCDI started out as an organisation targeting life sciences, health and technology, PCDI aims to broaden her scope to other disciplines in the future.
