CONCEPT
Aim:
Help doctoral candidates pursue the (international) career they are aiming for. The event is organized
under the Working Package 4, Activity 2 Stimulating cooperation in research and is the first of the two
that will be organized during the implementation of project POSDRU/107/1.5/S/76841.
Specific Objectives:
Doctoral Candidates in their second or third year are given the possibility to develop their ideas
concerning their next career steps after having concluded their PhD project, reflect on strengths and
skills they have acquired during their research training and assess how these can be transferred to other
areas including the job market outside academia. Information on the European job market and research
area as well as EU policies on these topics will be provided (e.g. FP7, Marie Curie actions, Erasmus
Mundus). This will give an overview on the possibilities within the EU and enhance the mobility of young
researchers.
The focus of the summer school lies on training activities. Participants will receive practical tips and
have the opportunity to develop their skills in job application procedures. Interactions of participants
from at least three European countries and various disciplines will give diversified views on many of the
above mentioned issues and raise awareness of intercultural and interdisciplinary differences; thus
prepare them for an international job or/and research environment. Additionally an open and friendly
setting provides many opportunities for networking activities.
