[mittelbau_info] Fwd: Request for your opinion on the WissZeitVG and for your support

[Friedrich Cain]

Liebe Mittelbau-AG,

uns erreichte untenstehende Anfrage aus der Helmholtz Gesellschaft, die ich hier leider etwas knapp weiterleite, um im ersten Schritt etwas zurückzumelden.

Kommentiert aber gerne noch bis morgen direkt an Georg Winkens, wir werden das position paper nächste Woche und alles weitere schneller an Euch aussenden.

Herzliche Grüße - auch von Julia,

Fri.

> We write to you on behalf of the Helmholtz Association PostDoc Network, the Leibniz PostDoc Network and the Max-Planck PostdocNet. In the light of the upcoming amendment of the WissZeitVG, we were invited by the federal ministry of research (BMFTR) to provide our opinion on the WissZeitVG in a personal meeting. This is a unique chance to include the perspective of us early career researchers into lawmaking at the very beginning, even before the first draft of the amendment has been published.
> 
> Since the German community of postdocs is larger than us, we want to bring also your opinions and your support into this meeting. To achieve this aim, we will proceed as follows:
> 
> – First, we will complete the draft of a position paper with core demands by the beginning of February. If you have specific aspects of the WissZeitVG that should be amended, feel free to share your ideas until January 30th. Please keep in mind that we might not be able to fit all topics into the paper.
> – Second, we will share the position paper with you within the first week of February. If you agree on the positions and want to support us, please let us know before February, 8th with a short note, accompanied by a logo to be inserted into the position paper to show your support.
> 
> We apologize for the rather tight deadlines and hope you can fit our request into your schedule.
> 
> Feel free to share this e-mail also with other postdoc groups and representations that might be interested since we cannot be sure that we reach really everyone.
> 
> Please let us know if you have any other questions or remarks.
> 
> Best wishes,
> Georg Winkens
> 
> Spokesperson of the Helmholtz Association PostDoc Network
> And on behalf of the Leibniz PostDoc Network and the Max-Planck PostdocNet
