This is YIN

The Young Investigator Network (YIN) is a pioneering effort and to our knowledge the only network of its kind that has endured the test of time for more than 15 years. YIN lives and thrives with the engagement of its members – the junior research group leaders (JRGLs), the junior and tenure-track professors at KIT. YIN brings them together in an inclusive atmosphere of trust and unites them as a peer community that can act and speak with a strong voice. This is the network’s key to success, what makes it so special and enables its members to actively shape the research environment at KIT.

The main tasks of the YIN are:

• represent the interests of YIN members in university politics
• provide a platform for scientific and personal networking of the peer-community
• offer a professional development program towards leadership excellence
• foster scientific collabration through YIN Grants and networking subsidies
