Online View mapNext 14 June, Universidad de Alcalá and Universidad Rey Juan Carlos will be organising the event ‘Research beyond academia’ under Got Energy Talent MSCA-Cofund
If you are a member of research staff (e.g. postdoctoral researcher or fellow) you’re probably acutely aware of the competition for permanent positions in higher education. However, there is a wide range of careers for researchers outside higher education from research, teaching, business and management to enterprise. They include research positions in commercial companies, public bodies or non-profit organisations.
Moreover, creating “impact” from research, beyond academic impact —i.e. “the contribution that research makes to the economy, society, environment, or culture, beyond the contribution to academic research”— is increasingly important, being for instance a key element in some funding schemes such as Horizon Europe.
During this event, we will have the opportunity to get to know better the type of research done by non-academic institutions. We will also discuss differences with academic research and the skills that companies and the non-academic sector requires from researchers.
If you would like to participate, please send an email before 10 June to: tecnico.cofund@uah.es
