Die Mommsen-Gesellschaft veranstaltet seit 2023 ein jährliches Treffen für Jungmitglieder, welches zu Beginn des Sommers (Mai/Juni) in Göttingen stattfindet und im November des jeweiligen Vorjahres ausgeschrieben wird. Die Treffen dienen in erster Linie dem gegenseitigen Kennenlernen und der Vorstellung eigener Forschungsprojekte. Es besteht dabei auch stets die Möglichkeit, ohne eigenen Beitrag an der Diskussion teilzunehmen. Zusätzlich gibt es immer ein Rahmenprogramm, welches aus Workshops und Führungen besteht. Teilnehmen können alle Doktorand:innen, die an einem Promotionsprojekt innerhalb der altertumswissenschaftlichen Fächer arbeiten und entweder bereits Jungmitglieder der Mommsen Gesellschaft sind oder zusammen mit ihrer Bewerbung für das Treffen einen Antrag auf Jungmitgliedschaft einreichen.

Das nächste Jungmitglieder-Treffen findet am 15./16. Mai 2025 im Althistorischen Seminar der Universität Göttingen statt. Die Teilnahme wird von der Mommsen-Gesellschaft durch die Übernahme der Übernachtungskosten bezuschusst. Falls Sie Interesse an einer Teilnahme am nächsten Jungmitglieder-Treffen haben, können Sie sich noch bis zum 31.01.2025 bei Herrn Dr. Martin Lindner (martin.lindner(at)uni-goettingen.de) und Frau Victoria Macura (victoria.macura(at)uni-potsdam.de) bewerben.
