Researcher careers across borders: supporting careers beyond academia

The volume of resources, guidance and support for researchers looking to make the transition to other sectors has proliferated in recent years. Researchers now have much greater access to support and resources from both within and outside of their institutions. This expanded landscape of support is a welcome development, but can be overwhelming for researchers, and those who support their development, to navigate. Where do you start, how do you know what type of support is the best fit, and how do you know that it is valuable, reliable and trustworthy? are common questions that appears upon such a vast source or resources. 

How can researcher developers and other supporters empower researchers to make informed decisions about what support to access, and potentially, when to pay for it?

This webinar broadens the geographical focus of a previous event held by Vitae in March 2024, which focused on supporting researcher developers to navigate the landscape of support around researcher careers.

It aims to bring researcher development professionals from across Europe together to discuss:

• What does this transition look like in different countries

• What works and doesn’t work in supporting researchers to navigate researcher careers

• Innovative approaches to supporting researchers

• How researchers are supported on the ‘other side’

The webinar will be held online and the structure will include presentations from speakers on the topic, an opportunity to pose questions to those speakers, and discussion with the fellow attendees.
