Meet me in Stuttgart, Heidelberg — and online

Three events coming up + a workshop closing soon

Hello hellooo,

I often speak at conferences on various topics and I really love meeting people in person. The next few weeks are packed with 4 major events — and I’d love for you to be part of them.

This Friday - Quantum Day 2026, Stuttgart

🗓️ 12 June, 2:00–5:30pm · Stuttgart Media University · Free

I’ll be giving a talk on quantum science communication and outreach, and joining the panel discussion afterwards. The theme this year is “Quantum and Beyond” — covering everything from post-quantum cryptography to quantum ethics. No prior knowledge needed. You can join in person or via livestream.

Next month - EuroSTEMPeers 2026, Heidelberg

🗓️ 10-11 July · BioLabs Heidelberg · Paid 

On 10 July I’ll be running a hands-on workshop on using AI for grant preparation and CV writing — practically and responsibly. The next day (11 July) I’ll give a talk on the EU AI Act, which is genuinely worth knowing about before the August compliance deadline.

Coming soon: Thriving PI Summit

Lastly, if you’re organising something — a workshop, a talk, a conference session — and think any of these topics would work for your group or institution, feel free to reach out. I’m happy to discuss what’s possible, in person or online.

Hope to see some of you soon.

Cheers,

Pranoti Kshirsagar Founder, The Science Talk
