Career development is an important activity for early-stage researchers
The situation of young, super-talented, researchers graduating from their advanced studies and not finding a job is much too common.
The purpose of career development is to support the continuous professional development of researchers in the following ways:
- Skills Development- training targeted to the labor market: IPR, networking, etc.
- Connections and networking- activities for contact with relevant employers, such as "speed-dating" events.
- Information and consulting- databases of relevant information about employers, jobs & opportunities, and grants or fellowships.
