European Research career fair

The European Research Careers Fair is an event that aims to promote and enhance research careers in Europe.
It will take place from 9.45 am to 6.00 pm.
Over 1500 PhD students and researchers from all over Europe will be coming together with well-known figures from the world of Research and representatives of major institutions to discuss innovation strategies and new career prospects.

ERC involvement

•   ERC stand in the exhibition area with an ERC Representative available to answer questions and provide documentation
•   Workshop: "Passionate about research? European funding opportunities and services for creative minds from anywhere in the world" (TABLE 6 : each hour from 14.30 to 16.30)
•   Participation in the round-table discussion: "The mobility of researchers in Europe: What are the obstacles and levers?" (ROUNDTABLE 3, 15:00-16:15)

The international nature of research teams has become a reality. As a result, any researcher looking to further his career is faced with the need to gain experience abroad. This is a major lever for developing his expertise (exchange of experience, training). Although international mobility is becoming a necessity, it is faced with a number of obstacles. What is the situation in Europe? What are the levers for developing mobility? And, finally, is mobility within Europe essential to a career?
