We invite WI (business informatics) young faculty members to the Wirtschaftsinformatik-Nachwuchstreffen (WINT) on March 7 and 8, 2024 at Leuphana University in the old Hanseatic city of Lüneburg. In addition to the usual get-together, networking and exchange with familiar and new faces, the meeting comprises sessions that offer input and inspiration for young faculty members considering or planning an academic career.
We are looking forward to seeing you.
Your organization team
Markus P. Zimmer, Leuphana University Lüneburg
Julia Lanzl, University Hohenheim
Maren Gierlich-Joas, Copenhagen Business School
Manfred Schoch, University Hohenheim
The program takes the motto: "Resilience, Perseverance and Paths in Academia". Jointly with you and our speakers, we wish to discuss these three keywords and their importance for early career researchers who are pursuing a career in academia and have high goals in terms of research and impact. You can look forward to exciting presentations, plenary discussions and opportunities for you to share your own thoughts on the WINT 2024 motto and beyond.
