The workshop provides an overview of the German research and innovation system and addresses the particularities of conducting research in higher education institutions, non-university organisations and the private sector. It explores essential professional skills to become an independent, internationally visible researcher and raises strategic issues in career development, such as geographic, thematic and intersectoral mobility.
The programme aims to assess the current researcher position, to identify individual career goals and to develop a road map for how to achieve them.
