On 16 November 2021, the Coordination Office of the Elite Network of Bavaria welcomed all new members at the digital Get Together 2021. Over 400 students and doctoral students seized the chance to obtain detailed information about the events and activities of the network and to get to know each other in breakout-rooms.
In his welcoming speech, the Bavarian State Minister of Science and the Arts, Bernd Sibler, presented the five funding programs of the international and interdisciplinary network. More than 3500 active members and about 7500 alumni of the Max Weber Program, the Marianne-Plehn-Programm, currently 31 Elite Graduate Programs, ten International Doctorate Programs and eight International Junior Research Groups benefit from a lively and beneficial exchange across disciplines and funding programs.
Different members and alumni of the network provided an interesting insight into various networking offers. Their short video clips presented the Lindau Nobel Laureate Meeting, the EuroScience Open Forum, the annual soccer tournament ‘EliteCup’ and the Graduation Ceremony as well as events of the Akademie für politische Bildung in Tutzing and Soft Skill Seminars.
