About the workshop
The CU.ecr workshop “Career Development as a Core Academic Responsibility” - How Universities Can Support Principle Investigator (PI)'s in Career Development of ECRs is targeted at specialists in career development, other professional staff supporting PIs and/or career development and PIs involved in or interested in career development of their ECRs.
The workshop presents a great possibility for exchanging best practices and gaining new insights. The goal is to foster cooperation between Circle U. member universities’ efforts in career development, specifically supporting young researchers.
Besides from offering productive discussions and building new networks, the agenda also offers the possibility of discovering Denmark’s only campus university with its internationally renowed unique architecture as well as exploration of the city of Aarhus.
