SNP2Prot Retreat 11/25

On Monday and Tuesday, 10 and 11 November 2025 the SNP2Prot retreat 11/25 will take place at Hotel Kloster Nimbschen, a wonderful event venue close to the Mulde River built on the grounds of an ancient monastery. During this retreat, the SNP2Prot community will address two major topics: discussing current project progress and developing effective publication strategies.

Moreover, the retreat aims to strengthen interdisciplinary collaboration within the entire SNP2Prot team, develop both joint and individual concepts for future objectives, and further promote an open and collegial environment.

Day 1: After the registration and brief welcome, the retreat will begin with an overview of the current status. This will be followed by a short lecture on how project requirements and objectives may evolve across different phases of interdisciplinary research, and on the current aims of our consortium. Following this, PhD candidates and postdocs will share the progress of their projects in short presentations. A key highlight will be group work on joint review papers, where in small groups PIs will moderate the brainstorming and developing of strategies for writing interdisciplinary review papers. In the evening ‘Helgas Almhütte‘ promises a ‘zünftiges’ (rustic) gathering.

Day 2: Project presentations will continue, and SNP2Prot members will learn about the status and concepts of CRC research data management. To further foster interactive scientific exchange, a poster session will provide an opportunity for each project to present and discuss their ideas for compelling publication strategies. The retreat will conclude with a General Assembly Meeting, where important updates will be shared and participants can raise questions, suggestions, and topics for open discussion.

After these two inspiring days filled with science and social interaction, (Early Career) Researchers (ECRs) will continue with an ECR-only day on 12 November without the PIs. → Read more: ECR-only day

We’re looking forward to a great retreat.
