Therefore, the Career Workshop is also open for Post-Graduates, doctorates and post-doc of the Heinrich-Heine-University and for members of CERFA. Check the interesting Agenda!

Due to the sponsorship of CERFA and HHU we can offer the participation of the members of CERFA and the students of HHU at the Career Workshop for free. MCFA members that are up to date with their payments will have also free entrance. Other participants will be asked to pay a fee for the Career Workshop directly on site of 40 EUR.
