Presenting Author: Sheffer, Ofir

A workshop tailored for post-doctoral from all networks and communities.

Postdoctoral scholars face the demanding task of crafting an impactful academic portfolio within a limited timeframe. Achieving success during this pivotal stage frequently hinges on securing financial resources for research endeavors. However, many researchers encounter challenges when it comes to fundraising.

To assist researchers in navigating this phase, EERA Network 28 invites you to participate in a three-hours workshop focusing on the essentials of fundraising as a means of personal leverage in academic careers. The workshop, especially addressed to post-doc researchers, aims to present and discuss the essential elements for growth inherent in the postdoctoral/early career research phase and life.


Workshop program:

9:45-10:30
Opening, introduction, getting to know each other, sharing in groups

10:30-11:00
Academic career: from postdoctoral student to researcher, how to build an optimal portfolio for academic advancement and how to deal with years without publications.
Guest speaker: Professor Gad Yair, who will talk about the "lean years" in his career and tips for coping.

11:00-11:45
Fundraising as a tool for personal leverage in academic careers.
Guest speaker: Professor Miri Yamini, who won ERC 2024.

Join us for a deeper understanding of how fundraising can not only finance your research but also enhance your professional standing and unlock new opportunities.
