Researcher careers across borders: supporting careers beyond academia

This webinar builds on an event held by Vitae in March 2024, which focused on supporting researcher developers to navigate the landscape of support around researcher careers. This webinar broadens the geographical focus of that event to bring in international approaches to how researchers are supported to explore careers beyond academia.  

It aims to bring researcher development professionals from across Europe together to discuss:  

• What does this transition look like in different countries  
• What works and doesn’t work in supporting researchers to navigate researcher careers
• Innovative approaches to supporting researchers  
• How researchers are supported on the ‘other side’
