Time: 9:00 AM - 12:00 PM
Venue: building VO (Titan), room 01009
We invite you to a workshop aimed at introducing early-career scientists to the formal and informal requirements associated with starting a scientific career. The goal is to clarify what to focus on at different stages of your career. This workshop is intended for PhD students and early-career academic and scientific staff.
Agenda:
The workshop will focus on reflecting on the formal and informal demands associated with a scientific career. The objective is to clarify the main aspects of evaluating scientific staff that need attention from the beginning of a scientific career and to strategically respond to them. This segment will include a presentation on current systems for evaluating scientific performance.
Additionally, the workshop will cover strategic planning of a scientific career in relation to evaluation systems. Participants will address model dilemmas associated with starting a scientific career – what to do, when, and how.
