Five suggestions for relevant topics:
1. Idea generating - How to generate good research ideas? How to stand out with your research and projects.
2. Interdisciplinary research collaborations - From an academic point of view. Tips and tricks on networking opportunities => This might be interesting as one of the events for the autumn semester.
3. The research funding system in EU and DK.
4. Research strategies; different researchers, different strategies. How to combine research with conferences, personal life etc. incl. how to organize research groups.
5. Award 'Show' incl. presenting a 10 pages paper

We agreed to go with the following topic for the March event: Student BA project. This is a field under development, so it would be good to have the postdocs evaluate this initiate at the event and get their feedback.

It was decided to reduce the amount of annual meeting in the postdoc committee from 4 to 2, one in the beginning of each semester.
Gianluca Mezzetti stepped out of the postdoc committee => Malene will ask around if anyone might be interested in replacing him.
We need an overview of the current amount of postdocs at CS => Malene will check with Jan Frederiksen.
Next meeting in the Postdoc Committee: August 2018.
