Career stages in focus: customised skills development for every target group

Each stage of an academic’s career demands they have many different skills. So here at the Centre for Advanced Researcher Development (CARD) we offer programmes and services tailored to each career stage as set out in the European Framework for Research Careers. CARD is designed for all postdoctoral researchers, whether early postdoc (R2), established researcher (R3) or professor (R4). CARD also offers the AdvanceMent mentoring programme for advanced doctoral researchers (R1) in the transition to the early postdoc phase (R2).

We regularly refine our services and always tailor them to the individual

At the Centre for Advanced Researcher Development we offer workshops, coaching and mentoring programmes and individual advice. From leadership and management through communication skills to academic practice – we can give you the tools for the next step in your personal development whether in academia or beyond. We routinely quality-control and refine our services, to ensure that you always benefit from the latest and most relevant content.
