Researcher Careers Beyond Academia: Navigating the Landscape of Support
Date: 20th March 2024
Venue: Online
The volume of resources, guidance and support for researchers looking to make the transition to other sectors has proliferated in recent years. This expanded landscape of support is a welcome development, but can be overwhelming for researchers, and those who support their development, to navigate.
This webinar will bring together speakers from across this landscape of support to share their experiences of supporting the transition of researchers into careers beyond academia. We will also hear directly from researchers who will reflect on their own experiences of accessing different forms of support and advice. The end of the session will be dedicated to wider group discussion and sharing, covering the following potential topics:
- How do we address disparities in levels of support and opportunities across institutions, and researcher groups?
- How can we foster collaboration and share effective strategies?
- How can the impact of these interventions be evaluated?
- How should support be funded?
