About this event
Join us for the 1st International IrishRSA Online Forum on Research Careers and Policy. Our Forum will present the Irish and international research career frameworks as well as best practices from other countries. We intend to initiate the discussion on sustainable careers for researchers and a model of future directions and solution for the precarity of Irish research careers by bringing together a number of key experts and stakeholders in research careers, both on national and international level. Our target audience are researchers, decision-makers in the public service, higher education institutions, industry and other relevant stakeholders.
Online Conference
Despite our hopes that we would be able to organise a physical event in Ireland, our Forum will be fully online due to the ongoing COVID restrictions. The online format enables us to offer you an event with national & international speakers and panellists who will share with you informative presentations. Join us in the discussions and Q&A sessions!
