Enabling a diversity in career pathways for talented research professionals is key priority for Science Europe. ➡️ Our Senior Policy Officer, James Morris, shared his insights and experience from making the transition from academia to research policy work, where he now works on a variety of policy areas that aim broadly at improving conditions for researchers, research professionals in other sectors, and the research endeavour. Research training fosters a range of skills and competencies that are highly sought after in many career pathways.
Exploring pathways to careers in the public sector 🔀 Since its launch in June, the MCAA Academy Mentoring Programme has been supporting participants in enhancing their skills and navigating career transitions to the public sector through a series of tailored activities. Last week, an interactive session for the mentoring programme cohort was organised by our Career Development Manager, Pooja Khurana, Ph.D., featuring our Executive Director, Mostafa Moonir Shawrav, and Senior Policy Officer at Science Europe, James Morris, as invited speakers. During the session, participants explored various roles and entry pathways, learning practical tips to leverage their skills and start a career in the public sector. They also actively contributed ideas, shared experiences, and asked insightful questions throughout the session. 💡 If you’re an MCAA member interested in enhancing your career development journey, join the MCAA Academy: https://lnkd.in/ekGcFEGN For more information about the Mentoring Programme, please contact career.support@mariecuriealumni.eu.
