EURAXESS Nordic Online Regional Training 26/27 May 2021

Day 1: Researchers' Career Development – a Digital approach (26th of May 10:00 – 13:00)

The first day of the conference focuses on EURAXESS going digital with Researchers Careers as our main topics of the day. We will learn about the challenges ahead for the academic workforce directly from the OECD, what EURAXESS is aiming for from the EU-commission and dive into the available EURAXESS career tools.

We will do this in two separate sessions. First, we will learn a tool used to support self-directed career development and how to guide researchers within that tool, and then we will look at real cases within an innovation ecosystem . In addition to this a digital mingling session is planned before the day ends.

Day 2: Online Digital Tools & Local collaboration - Dual Career Services (27th of May 10:00 – 13:15)

During the second day of the conference, we learn, share and get inspired about online digital tools and local collaboration with Dual Career Services as a case. During the whole programme, we will introduce new and innovative online tools, which you can start using for your webinars and meetings immediately. From Helsinki we get a glimpse of the HEI LIFE project focusing on useful models for higher education institutions in supporting international staff and families, and the successful local Spouse Program run by the City of Helsinki.

We get a presentation from UCPH on digital tools they use in their leadership programmes, and you are able to design your own webinar together with your Nordic colleagues. We end the day with an online reception using an interactive tool where you can meet other people, network and play games together. Also, DealRoom’s networking option is available throughout the training day. We are looking forward to meeting you online, welcome!
