Developing a unique research profile plays an important role in establishing a successful research career. This workshop will offer participants assistance with the further planning of their scientific careers and the development of their research profiles, taking into account the participants’ individual trajectories.
At pivotal points in their career, researchers often feel a need to deliberate their position and competencies, and to balance various career options. This applies especially to the transition period between qualification phases, e.g. at the end of the doctorate and the beginning of the postdoc phase. Information on funding and career developments as well as awareness on own strengths and interests are key for taking informed decisions on the way forward.
Elements:
- Individual self-positioning and look ahead
- The research system in Germany and Europe
- Typology of research funding and career development schemes
- Participants’ current research profile
- Participants‘ future research profile
- Individual draft, short presentation in the plenary, and discussion of a grant summary or strategic concept

The workshop will be given in English, the target group are PhD students in their last year, all postdocs and junior group leaders.
