The National Postdoc Appreciation Week (NPAW) is an initiative sponsored by the National Postdoctoral Association since 2009. Special events are held to recognize the significant contributions that postdoctoral scholars make to U.S. Institutions and postdoctoral associations from across the country and other parts of the world. In 2010, the week starting with the third Monday in September was officially recognized as the NPAW by the U.S. House of Representatives. Events are held throughout the week and across the country to create awareness.

Below, you can find a list of events organized by the YPA for the NPAW 2025 - September 15th to 19th. These events are open to all YPA members (postdocs and ARS).
