Are you a PhD supervisor, university HR or doctoral studies administrator, or a PhD student? The international seminar ‘Early-Career Researchers’ identity development – individual, faculty and institutional implications‘ organised on 15 February 2019 at Tallinn University is for you!
A large proportion of research in academic institutions is conducted by PhD students, post-docs and junior members of faculty. Early career researchers (ECRs), particularly PhD students and post-PhD researchers, have in recent years been the concern of academic institutions as well as educational policymakers. European policies concerning the training and promotion of new generations of researchers turn focus towards the careers of the junior members of academia. The questions around academic careers and how to support junior researchers in finding their way through academia concern multiple stakeholders, including policy-makers, institutional administrators and leadership; academic faculty and supervisors; and the junior members themselves. The seminar sheds light on institutional policies and support, as well as identities of junior researchers.
The seminar is part of the ERASMUS + funded project Researcher Identity Development: Strengthening Science in Society Strategies“ (RID-SSISS) carried through in collaboration among University of Oulu, Lancaster University, Ramon Llull University and Tallinn University.
