The next step in your academic career will depend on more than just your individual achievements. Science politics and university sector funding will affect your ability to build a successful academic career.

The world of academia is best mastered by understanding some basics about science politics and funding. What influence do you as a researcher have on science politics, and how do you find your way in the jungle of project funding? What kind of tools and support are available? And finally, how do you handle the disappointment and potential setbacks if your grant application isn’t funded?

This webinar will look at the journey from being an early-career researcher with a new PhD to becoming an established academic with prestigious ERC funding and large research centres.
