[GRADSAplus] Refine your inner career compass (September 21, 2026 | online)

Written by

As a postdoc, research is typically your top priority. You may already have a sense of where you want to go professionally, yet active career planning often feels time-consuming and is easily postponed. But what if investing in your career development is not a trade-off with research? When approached strategically, it can broaden your perspective and open up new opportunities.

Using structured and practical methods, you can refine your personal career compass, reassess your priorities and make conscious career decisions rather than rushing from one project contract to the next. During this event, we will introduce a new workbook with practical tools to help you define your goals, assess your strengths and plan purposeful next steps for your career in academia or beyond.
