- As site representatives, they promote networking and organise the annual DZD NEXT Symposium.

DZD NEXT Alumni Network
Regardless of where early career scientists end up, whether they pursue a career in academic research at the DZD or abroad, in industry or somewhere else entirely, the DZD NEXT alumni network allows everyone to stay in touch with each other. Newsletters provide information about updates from the DZD, network events maintain connections and enable new contacts to be made. As speakers at DZD NEXT events, our alumni are a valuable resource for sharing experiences with the next generation.
