Career Development Initiative

The Career Development Initiative (CDI) is an organization run by life science master's students, doctoral students and postdoctoral fellows who envision a change in the culture of career development in the Berlin academic community. Defining one’s career is a major challenge, with many unforeseen obstacles. The CDI’s goal is to create a culture that empowers students and postdocs to explore their career options. The CDI works closely with various Berlin-based partners to provide students and academics with resources for individual, scientific, and career advancement. Through setting up programs for mentoring, education, and networking, the initiative hopes to provide a stepping stone for their peers to define and take control of their futures.
