Description of the Workshop
\nThe workshop is designed to offer \; thorough guidance on various aspects of career advancement during the early stages of an academic career. The primary aspects of career development to be addressed during the workshop include:
\n● \; PhD Application Process: Designed to illustrate the diverse standards of different countries\, this session will address critical elements of the PhD application process. Participants will learn to craft compelling cover letters\, prepare writing samples\, formulate PhD research proposals\, and effectively engage with prospective supervisors\, including strategies for soliciting recommendation letters.
\n● \; Grant Design and Application Process: This session will review some of the leading grant schemes across Europe tailored for early career researchers. It will cover both national funding schemes (e.g.\, those from the Deutsche Forschungsgemeinschaft\, Leverhulme\, and Juan de la Cierva) and European schemes (e.g.\, the Marie Skłodowska-Curie actions). Participants will gain insights into crafting successful grant applications\, understanding the evaluation criteria\, and navigating the diverse submission deadlines unique to each country.
\n● \; Navigating the Journey of Academic Publishing: This session will discuss how to identify suitable venues for publication\, prepare your manuscript for submission\, understand and manage the intricacies of the peer review process\, and deal with the editorial process.
