General information

Date: 1–3 September 2025

Place: Face-to-face event in the Hanover region

Target group: Helmholtz Postdocs (1-2 years after PhD; designed for, but not limited to)

Trainer: Emma Ford and Dr. Steve Hutchinson (C4C)

Participants: 24 (5 places for ºÚÁÏÊÓƵ)

Objective

The future of the world of work is changing more than ever, and these challenging times often make career and future planning less predictable. Opportunities for researchers are broad in terms of sector, and trends are demonstrating that more and more researchers are seeking roles outside of academia.

Whether you see your future inside or outside of academia, what do you need to make good decisions about your future and your career? And are you taking responsibility for making those decisions?

This focused and interactive online event will help to develop your thinking about your future and career: What is good for me and how can I achieve it?

We consider:

• Academic & non-academic careers
• How to make the best decision(s) for you?
• Making the best of yourself - what do you have to offer?
• How do you market yourself in a targeted way?
• Building your networks – who is on team you?

The approach of the event will be interactive, discursive, but pragmatic and above all supportive, so that the participants can take ownership of their future.

Goal

The workshop offers participants support in further planning their academic careers, focusing on securing research funding while taking their career profiles into account. A successful academic career is closely tied to the ability to develop a distinct and recognizable research profile.

Objective

Especially during transitional phases in their academic careers, researchers often feel the need to reflect on their position and competencies, and to weigh various career and funding options against each other. This is particularly relevant during transitions between qualification phases or at the completion of a qualification, when becoming eligible for a leadership position in academia. 

Knowledge of research and career funding programs, as well as an understanding of one's own strengths and interests, are crucial prerequisites for making informed decisions about the next steps in career development. Moreover, potential employers and funders increasingly require clearly defined descriptions of applicants' career and research profiles to assess their suitability for a specific institution or program.

The coaching session on the second day of the event aims to support participants in their reflections on the further development of their academic careers by offering an external perspective, as well as providing guidance on developing a research funding strategy.
