JungeFeste is a grouping of young researchers within the GDCh Division Solid State Chemistry & Materials Research, which represents the concerns and interests of young scientists in these fields. This includes all interested Division members who do not yet hold a permanent position: from students to junior professors. The JungeFeste delegates two people as permanent guests to the executive committee of the specialist group in order to ensure direct contact. The mentoring programme as well as various events and workshops are open to JungeFeste members. All the latest news can be found in our newsletter and on social media. You can find the complete overview at linktr.ee/jungefeste.

Virtual meetings to get to know each other, network and socialise take place every 4th Friday of the month at 15:00. For general suggestions, questions or proposals Maximilian Stremel (Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf) or Irina Zaytseva (Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München).

For all those who want to actively help shape the JungeFeste, there is a planning email distribution list, on which all important things from ideas to organisational details are discussed. Joining is open to everyone and we welcome any support, ideas or contributions.

YoungFeste Mentoring
YoungFeste Mentoring is aimed at master's students, doctoral candidates, postdocs, habilitation candidates and junior professors and is designed to support participants on their career path. We coordinate the matching between suitable mentors and mentees and support the tandem throughout the mentoring period with a wide range of issues relating to the mentor-mentee relationship. The contact persons are Heidi Schwartz (University of Innsbruck) and Frank Tambornino (Philipps University Marburg).

Young Scientists Events
The working group is concerned with the organisation of events for young scientists in the Solid State Chemistry & Materials Research Group. In addition to the ongoing online lecture series JFK - JungeFesteKolloquium, we are also planning events in presence in the form of conference sessions or workshops. If you have any event ideas or need support, please contact Sebastian Klemenz (Fraunhofer IWKS, Alzenau/Hanau) or Simon Steinberg (RWTH Aachen University)

JungeFeste Kommunikation
The JungeFeste Kommunikation group organises everything related to public relations and other networking - both within JungeFeste in terms of newsletters and monthly virtual meetings as well as externally via the content of this website, maintenance of the social media presence (X: @JungeFeste) and networking with specialist groups. If you are interested in supporting us, please send an email to Markus Suta (Heinrich Heine University Düsseldorf) or Günther Thiele (Albert-Ludwigs-University Freiburg).
