For a wide variety of reasons, people choose to take new paths and leave Forschungszentrum Jülich – whether it is to take on a new professional challenge, move into industry, relocate, or enjoy a well-earned retirement. No matter where the road leads, your connection to Jülich remains.

Alumni network

Networks are one of the most important factors for a successful career, as well as for other areas of life. Former employees can use the alumni network to exchange information for and on your professional development, and to stay in touch with like-minded people.

The alumni newsletter keeps former colleagues up to date with science news, provides you with personal insights through interviews with former colleagues, and informs you about various activities organized by internal networks.

Become a role model

International employees often experience different challenges in the workplace. We expressly welcome efforts to make the international perspective more visible. Under the motto “You can’t be what you can’t see”, we would love to hear from former employees who would like to participate in Career Center events as role models. If you are interested, please contact julumni@fz-juelich.de.
