On 4th of August members of the DoV met with member of parliament Daniel Baldy (SPD). Topics of the very informal and constructive discussion included location conditions, the act on temporary employment in higher education (Wissenschaftszeitvertragsgesetz) and teaching conditions. We hope that the exchange will lead to the needs of doctoral students being included in one or the other political debate.

On 24th of July we held a small team building meeting at the bowling alley on campus. After a year and a half as DoV, it's nice to see how the group has developed, how ideas have emerged and how work processes have been established. We are happy to be able to represent you!

On October 18, 2023, the Netzwerk Junge Wissenschaft | Mainz  invites young researchers and all other interested parties to engage in a fish bowl discussion on the topic of "Sustainability in Science" from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in the Atrium Maximum:

• What does "sustainability" mean in science?
• How can research results on sustainability be made usable for society?
• What can scientists do to make their research process sustainable?
• What role does the digital nature of data play here and what options are there for making it available in the long term?
• And how can scientific operations as a whole become more sustainable, especially in view of rising energy costs and, above all, the climate crisis?

Speakers will discuss these topics from different academic perspectives such as research and teaching. Guests are also invited to actively take part with questions or talks.

Following the fish bowl discussion, the most important findings and impulses will be recorded in the context of a world café.

More information will follow in September.

Together with the staff council, the JGU aims to develop a solution for the implementation of the new mandatory recording of working hours that reflects the working reality of the scientific staff, and thus also that of the large and heterogeneous group of doctoral students. In order to get into an exchange, the staff council has set up special consultation hours.
