Zoom Event: Thursday 9 February 16.00 – 17.00 (CEST)
The working conditions and incentives for Europe’s early stage faculty have significantly changed in the past decade. Scientific policies, norms and cultures have been shifting, at times dramatically, and an increasingly active network of Academies and advocates have been outspoken in helping younger scholars navigate these changes; the Young Academy of Europe (YAE) among these.
In this moment, as the YAE celebrates its 10th Anniversary, it is opportune to reflect on what has changed for early stage faculty in Europe – for better or worse – and chart the most important changes we should pursue for science governance in the next 10 years.
With this motivation the YAE is organising a one-hour, Zoom-based panel discussion between some of the past and present Chairs of the YAE, centred around three broad questions:
- What are the most significant changes to the European research landscape for early stage faculty over the past 10 years?
- What have been YAE’s most significant impacts on this landscape over this period?
- What are the most critical changes YAE and others need to effect to this landscape over the next five years?
The panel will be comprised of four scholars: Lynn Kamerlin, Marcel Swart, Mangala Srinivas and Moniek Tromp – each of whom will provide perspectives from different time periods, and disciplines.
This event is open to YAE members, and any other interested individuals. The event will be interesting for anyone who wants to see current early career researchers and early stage faculty relative to a 20-year trajectory of research in Europe, and the future of research policy. There will be opportunities for the audience to ask questions of the panel.
