Recap PAW 2023
PAW 2023 The second Postdoc Appreciation Week in Germany
The second Postdoc Appreciation Week exceeded our expectations and we were amazed by the number of events and institutions joining us in 2023. More than 1500 people joined the events organised by 66 German institutions and networks. These activities and the social media campaign drew attention to relevant issues concerning the postdoc community in Germany. We are proud of expanding the reach of the Postdoc Appreciation Week and look forward to our next one.

PAW 2023 Feedback
One of the aims of this week is to bring some of the pressing issues that postdocs face to the light. Therefore we collected feedback after the week. Here you can see some of the responses:
Thank you for the organization, it was a great event! I think the program with the opening and closing session made a very professional appearance and gave more weigth to the whole event, so I can image next year even more people are willing to engage.
I am very grateful that you started this initiative, I find it amazing and I really appreciate all the work that you do in the background! I think PAW not only puts postdocs and their hard work in the spotlight, but it also promotes reflection, constructive discussions and community-building.

PAW provides some useful information on the individual level, and I don’t want to blame the engaged educators working for PAW, but: Universities should stop investing so much effort in distractions from the real problem for postdocs: The bad working conditions and ubiquitous fix-term contracts. Try as they might, I won’t feel appreciated if my employer tells me for a week how important I am, while they are exploiting me on a daily basis!
Thank You
To everyone that participated in Germany’s second Postdoc Appreciation Week!
