How to Advance Your Research Career and Get Funding (two-day) [ONLINE WORKSHOP]
The event will be held in English and run for two days, on December 3 and 4, 2024.
Becoming a postdoc is a pivotal, yet highly selective career step towards research independence and tenure. Preparing for future research leadership, the workshop helps early career researchers to assess their current position, align career aspirations with longer-term research goals and develop a road map for achieving them in the individual setting. Practice scenarios provide guidance on how to exploit funding opportunities effectively to build resources and capabilities for further career advancement.
By participating in the workshop, you will be better equipped to:
- take responsibility for your career and decision making,
- understand the critical success factors for a sustainable research career,
- apply strategic approaches to advance both your career and your research,
- design fundable projects for different research settings,
- identify and exploit funding opportunities,
- prepare effective grant proposals,
- develop yourself as a principal investigator.
This highly interactive workshop employs theoretical input, plenary discussions, individual and small group work, practice scenarios, experience sharing and expert advice. Pre-workshop activities account for varying levels of research experience and will be provided 10 days before the workshop. Please allow for an additional 3-4 hours to complete the activities.
