Dear collegue,

A few weeks after the festival, you will hopefully take the first (next) steps from recognizing and rewarding to your local working practices. Or maybe you're eagerly looking forward to a moment of reflection around the holidays to sharpen your strategy. We'd love to be able to inspire you! A number of workshops on RRview have now been provided with slides and a report, we are happy to highlight them for you:

• How to build a talented team A recap, sources and contacts (TU Delft)

• Recognizing diverse PhD trajectories: Rethinking doctoral assessment an essay by PNN

• mmmAcademia: a card game about Recognition and Rewards in Academia Slides and the cardgame

@karenstroobants1 presenting her column

'Currently, what is often expected of an academic is the equivalent of expecting a star goalkeeper to also be a talented striker and master passer or a skilled violinist to at the same time be a virtuous pianist and gifted drummer. Active efforts are needed to develop and recruit for different roles that each form an essential part of the team. This could include the recruitment of co-group leaders who for examples provide scientific leadership on the one hand and managerial skills on the other. Different roles should also lead into different career trajectories, inside or outside academia.'

If you have any materials of your own or an insight you'd like to share with us: take a chance and add it to the festival group.
Your RRview colleagues at other institutions are as eager to make strides as you are!
