In today´s ever changing world, systematic and focused career management is becoming increasingly important for both researchers and their employers. However, research organisations face the challenge of guiding researchers through this process and enabling them to become creative, critical and autonomous intellectual risk takers.

REFLEX – A two-year project joining forces of partners from five European countries, addressed these challenges through the designing of intelligent career development framework based on the direct involvement of researchers, their employers, HR departments, EURAXESS Service Centres and other relevant actors. The REFLEX framework is open access on the REFLEX website.

The YEAR Webinar will show you how this framework can enhance your own career development.

OVERVIEW OF THE WEBINAR

  • Current situation: what do young researchers want?
  • What is the REFLEX framework and how this is different from other initiatives?
  • How to use it to enhance your career development?
  • Your scientific career – how, where and who?
  • Tools and resources: REFLEX and Euraxess webpages
