Besides the multifaceted interdisciplinary exchange, the participants practiced presenting themselves as young scientists and highlighting their own scientific work. In addition to a precise and clear illustration of one's own research it is important to strengthen individual skills as needed and to develop strategies to deal with challenging situations to become a successful, independent researcher. We took time to reflect on some of the numerous and useful skills and possibilities or to try out a relaxation exercise ourselves. The experiences and the exchange at the retreat are meant to provide the early career researchers with some basics and to open up possibilities for personal development. We would like to thank all participants for their interesting presentations, fruitful discussions and a very cooperative and collegial atmosphere. We are very much looking forward to the next Into Science Retreat!
