About Us

Since 2017, the APDU has been dedicated to fostering connections and interactions among postdocs across the University of Geneva (Unige). We offer opportunities for professional skill development, social events, and community building. APDU is a volunteer organization run by Unige postdocs, and we host a variety of events aimed at promoting engagement and collaboration among colleagues from different departments. 
 
Each month, we organize the Science Club seminar featuring talks from postdocs within the university, as well as a social gatherings -Aperó- to encourage new connections and synergies. Additionally, once a year, we host The Postdoc Day, a full-day event with three keynote speakers, presentations from Unige postdocs, a poster session, and a scientific image contest. 
 
If you'd like to join us or share feedback, feel free to reach out via email or attend one of our events. We’d love to connect!
