Project name:
COST Association Cross-Cutting Activity on Career Development for Young Researchers
Project description:
This initiative aims to support the full personal and professional development of young researchers in Europe and to create a ‘community of practice’ armed with training and guidance on the basis of examples of good practice provided during CCA Coordination and Working Group meetings and workshops, thereby enabling a more balanced brain circulation and improved career development of young researchers. In addition, the CCA will analyse the factors which do (or do not) enable transferability of these good practices to countries where the development of such activities is still in the early stages. The final outcome is to explore how to promote, develop and implement better and more consistent HR strategies across Europe, offering young researchers and innovators better career opportunities and perspectives.
The CCA activities will be carried out by 4 working groups:
1. WG1 on young researchers;
2. WG2 on career advisory and support services;
3. WG3 on building a young researchers’ community in COST Actions;
4. WG4 on gender equality and fostering inclusiveness.
