Postdoc Retreat 2010 - Put your career in perspective

88 early career researchers, 12 parallel workshops, 9 keynote lectures, 3 days away from the lab and one excellent Postdoc Committee... these were the main ingredients for PCDI's Postdoc Retreat 2010 which took place from 21 - 23 April in Kapellerput, Heeze, where postdocs and final year PhD students come together to reflect their current position and their career perspectives. What challenges are out there and more importantly: what do I want?
