A career in science: Should I stay or should I go? — •Martin Wolf — Fritz-Haber-Institut der MPG, Faradayweg 4-6, 14195 Berlin

Many younger scientists are highly motivated and love to tackle scientific problems. However, they are often unsure whether they should take the risk to stay in science and pursue a scientific career. In particular, the German science system is often regarded as being less transparent regarding possible career pathways and the criteria to be fulfilled to successfully obtain a permanent position in academia or other research institutions. This public discussion at the DPG spring meeting will not provide you with any ``safe recipe'' for how to make such a career. However, examples will be presented by several individuals, who made their career in the German science system and who will formulate what they believe to be important for that process. After this panel style discussion the floor is open for questions and statements by the audience.
