Career News #25 - March 28th 2022

Welcome to KI Career Service Newsletter

Last week, we joined the Sweden Euraxess Network at the Euraxess Biennial Conference in Nantes (France). It was an opportunity to network, learn good practices and reflect on several topics such as career development, careers beyond academia, industry collaboration, mental health and the well-being of researchers, science communications, among others. Euraxess is a network of offices providing information and advice for national and international researchers who live or work in Europe. Euraxess supports researcher mobility and career development while enhancing scientific collaboration between Europe and the world. Feel free to read more about it and join! All services of the Euraxess network are free of charge. KI Career Service - Ana, Ayla, Raquel and Vladimir
