It was a pleasure to lead an #ESOF2020 discussion on sustainable research careers with the contribution of @EvaHnatkova @ACophignon @francardells and the support from @Eurodoc, @Mariecurie_alum and @TIBHannover Here are my takeaway messages from our session. #PhDChat #phdlife 1/
1) Career development is a shared responsibility of researchers, institutions and funding bodies. 2) Principal Investigators are critical in career development: Their experience, foresights, networks and resources are critical #ESOF2020 #phdchat #phdlife 2/
3) Not only #ECRs should focus on #TransferableSkills development, but also senior researchers and Principal Investigators 4) Recognition of (not only transferable) skills is critical for an effective transfer from #academia to non-academic jobs #ESOF2020 #phdchat #phdlife 3/
5) #networking should be a strategic exercise. It should also be a shared effort between research fellows, Principal Investigators, institutions and funding bodies. Effective networking is one of the best ways to secure sustainable employment #ESOF2020 #phdchat #phdlife 4/
6) Trusted, bottom-up non-profit initiatives and services, like the @ScilinkF or the #oeduverse project, are critical to address the issues of #personalisation and contextualization of researcher training. https://oeduverse.eu/  #ESOF2020 #phdchat #phdlife #AcademicChatter 5/
