Not sure what steps to take for a career transition outside academia? How to avoid  mistakes in a job market you don't yet have experience of? Then come on out to this event!
Researchers with academic backgrounds increasingly choose or are forced to pursue careers outside of academia. But a career change is not easy to address if you don’t have experience of that specific job market. The sense of disorientation is around the corner.
With the help of experts, we will give the necessary hints to the researcher on how to address the transition at the best and how to deal with this change through the support of those who have gone through this experience before you.

Mobility is both a significant challenge and an opportunity for many researchers. In this event we will look at some of the ways in which the use of language influences our research and builds up scientific societies, and also at how, when used in outreach activities, it can have positive impacts for communities.

We will first hear from Joana Moscoso, founder and director of Native Scientist (https://www.nativescientist.com/), a non-profit organisation that connects scientists and children through their native language. We will continue the conversation on organised scientific diaspora and the heritage language through short presentations and a roundtable discussion. The final discussion will be followed by a quick lunch and an informal networking session.
