What is the Pre-GAMM?
The Pre-GAMM is an event organized by the GAMM Juniors and intends to prepare researchers for the GAMM Annual Meeting, firstly with introductory lectures on the topics of the plenary lectures (Scientific Onboarding Events) and secondly with a soft skill seminar on “how to conference”. This seminar targets especially first-time participants and early-career PhD-students.
Scientific Onboarding Events
The event is held online and free to access for any researcher, in the weeks before the conference starts. Here, introductory courses on a wide range of topics will be given by plenary speakers of the GAMM Annual Meeting. No prerequisite knowledge is required as these courses are meant to onboard you to a topic outside your own scientific field and prepare you for the plenary talks.
Soft Skill Seminar
The seminar is an on-site event and requires registration. It addresses especially first-time participants, who just started with their PhD and have none / very little conference experience. The event is held as a panel discussion and prepares you for the upcoming week, answering your questions on “How to conference?” with a board of excellent researchers ranging from Post-Docs to professors! The number of participants is limited on a first-come first-served basis. Participation in the event is free of charge.
