The PMI Academy - an excellent start
PMI Mentoring Program
On February 19, 2024, the PMI Mentoring Program for early career researchers (female, male & diverse; PhD students, postdocs & clinician scientists) will start its second round.
Mentoring gives young researchers the opportunity to be supported by a mentor in their career development. It not only serves to advance their scientific career, but is also intended to help them master the high demands of a competitive research environment and develop leadership qualities.mentees meet regularly with their mentors as part of the mentoring program. Workshops on career development and networking sessions with other mentees, PIs and role models complement the program. The PMI Mentoring Program will be monitored by Dr. Phuong Glaser, a professional coach, who will stay in touch with all mentees during the process. The program is scheduled for a time period of 12 months. It is free for PMI members.

Young Scientist Retreats
The cluster’s young researchers before and after obtaining their PhD, organize annual Young Scientist Retreats themselves. These retreats provide them with the opportunity to further develop their scientific, methodological and social skills as well as exchange ideas with colleagues from other research groups and specialist fields.

Cluster Lecture
The Cluster Lectures, at which outstanding scientists from Germany and abroad present their research, offer contacts to top international research. In Cluster Grand Rounds prior to the lectures, the Cluster's early carreer scientists additionally have the opportunity to meet the invited guest in a small, exclusive group. This gives them a very direct and uncomplicated opportunity to exchange ideas and ask questions.
The next Cluster Lectures
Research grant for Cluster Young Scientists
The one crucial experiment that is still missing from the project but cannot be funded by normal grants. Or the one experiment that, if successful, could be groundbreaking - these are the projects that the Cluster of Excellence "Precision Medicine in Chronic Inflammation" would like to make possible with its 2021 funding for young researchers. The tender has been completed.
