Such a great workshop last week at IAB on topics on (un-)employment! I can highly encourage all PhD-students to not only take part in workshops and conferences but also be in organizing committees yourself! Very valuable insights and a lot of fun 🎓🎤🪃

This week in our sister institute, don't miss it
