Training in 'Leadership in diverse research environments for aspiring researchers'

We are offering some places to alumni on our internal training course "Leadership in diverse research environments for aspiring researchers", organised by the Projects Office of IMDEA Nanociencia.

Dates: 2-3 July 2024.

The workshop will cove the following topics: 

• Tuesday 2 July (Day1): The PhDs/postdocs are introduced to diversity, cultural intelligence, and important parameters to pay attention to when working internationally in research. 
• Wednesday 3 July (Day 2): The session will focus on developing a research strategy and building individual leadership in relation to diversity and international collaborations as they have to start considering their individual research profile and future career path.

REBECA-Practice tool to explore career paths

REBECA PRACTICE is a tool that brings the opportunity to early-career researchers to explore professional roles other than the academic researcher role. This tool will allow users to perform tasks that professionals at different job positions perform regularly. This, together with a narrative that creates a role play scenario, will simulate a job position.

By practicing you will learn about a professional role, you will become aware of necessary skills and attributes need to excel in these tasks, and, most importantly, you will learn about your preferences towards it.

The purpose of this experience is not to upskill  or evaluate readiness for a profession. The intention is that you experience a profession in a simulated scenario, helping you to decide if you like or not a profession based in their daily activities, and serving the ground and effectively direct your future steps in career exploration.
