Content

International academic careers present a particular set of challenges, risks and opportunities. This workshop allows you to understand them more fully, to discuss them with other internationally minded researchers and scientists and to apply them to your own situation. The workshop also provides you with an opportunity to plan the next steps of your career.

The aspects covered include:

• What are typical forms and functions of international academic mobility?

• Which opportunities arise from international academic mobility? What are the main risks?

• What can I do to benefit from the opportunities and to minimise the risks?

• How international are academic labour markets in different countries?

• What are the achievements to aim for? Similarities and dissimilarities in different countries. How do I develop my scientific profile?

• What are my next steps?

The coaching sessions on day 2 complement the workshop and allow for a more detailed discussion of individual questions and challenges. Time slots for the coaching sessions will be arranged in the workshop.
