The scientific world comprises millions of highly-qualified professionals within international projects and research.
On this basis and so as to support and disseminate the professional and academic opportunities offered by this field of employment, Bizkaia Talent collaborates in the organization of the ERA Career Day Bilbao, which will take place on 18, 19 and 20 September at Bizkaia Aretoa in Bilbao, together with the Chair of Scientific Culture of the University of the Basque Country and FECYT (Spanish Foundation for Science and Technology). Collaborators also include the Society of Spanish Researchers in the Federal Republic of Germany (CERFA) and the Society of Spanish Researchers in the United Kingdom (CERU).
The event is framed within the project Euraxess Career Day – Euescada which aims at offering as much information as possible to last-year university students and to researchers in Spain who are currently facing career decisions.
Thus, during the SCIENCE+ ERA Career Day there will be information about national and European funding opportunities, professional alternatives to academia, geographical mobility options within the research career, skills and competencies of researchers and how to improve them, etc.
