With “Real Talk”, the Paderborn PhD & Postdoc Support Office has launched a new series of events where PhD students and postdocs at Paderborn University can speak openly about issues that are sometimes overlooked in everyday academic life. True to the motto: “Real Talk instead of Small Talk”. On Wednesday 15 July, the focus will be on ‘Pension provision for PhD students and postdocs’. The event will take place online at 1 pm. Those interested can find further information and register on the event page.
Even though it may not seem directly related to a PhD or postdoc project at first glance, the topic of retirement provision is one that affects researchers regardless of their future career path – whether within or outside academia. Stephan Busch, an independent financial adviser and certified financial coach, will provide a concise overview of the various stages of retirement planning. He will explain why it is worth not putting this off until later and outline the steps that can be taken as early as the PhD and postdoc stages.
