PLEASE NOTE: because of organisational reasons, this session is posponed.
We will let you know asap what the new date will be.
The academic ladder symbolises a career that moves upwards step by step along a traditional path. This individual, narrow ladder stands in sharp contrast to the new, in line with Recognition & Rewards diverse career paths and the strengthening of the scientific team.
On top of that, the reality is that academic institutions do not have the budget to finance a straight upward trajectory for every individual scientist. And, perhaps even more importantly, the question is: isn't the prospect of climbing that ladder far too narrow? What is the alternative?
In today's session we focus on the core of this topic: job satisfaction. We talk with a group of academics (with an UD position) that tell us openly what they aim for to stay in touch with what they deeply aim for as a scientist.
In this session, we highlight possibilities, question assumptions and shift perspectives.
