Join us for EUTOPIA Eweek 23-27 Nov 2020. The week is packed full of lively discussion, fascinating panels and Q&A Opportunities with high-profile leaders in the EUTOPIA network. EUTOPIA is an ambitious alliance of six like-minded European universities: the Vrije Universitat Brussels (Belgium), CY Cergy Paris Université (France), the University of Gothenburg (Sweden), the University of Ljubljana (Slovenia), the University of Pompeu Fabra (Spain) and the University of Warwick (UK).

1. EUTOPIA Workshop: Early Career Researcher Development

Thursday, 26 November

9.30-10.30 (GMT), 10.30-11.30 (CET)

The transition from postdoctoral researcher into a permanent academic position can be a difficult one and universities often offer training programmes in order to help researchers in this position. In this session we will look at what a training programme for Early Career Researchers on the path towards permanent academic position should include and, crucially, how it should be delivered.

By looking at the experiences of those involved in both delivering and participating in such schemes, and those involved in interviewing people for academic positions, we will build a picture of what key skills and experience a new academic needs and how universities can best deliver training to a group, which has significant research experience and is looking to move on from the more formalised training of a PhD.

Speakers:

- Peter Scott, Director Institute of Advanced Study, UoW (Chair)

- John Burden, Research Strategy and Programme Manager,

- Institute of Advanced Study, UoW

- Panel comprising ECRs/Academics/University-based training co-ordinators
