ACROSS seminars for doctoral students and post-doctoral researchers
Dear PhD students and post-doctoral researchers, welcome to the ACROSS Alliance seminars organised by the Chemnitz University of Technology.
Strategic planning of research careers
27th January 2026 | 9:30–17:00, online seminar, in English
As competition for third-party funding intensifies, scientists and institutions face increasing pressure to submit applications more frequently. However, not every program aligns with individual or institutional goals. This workshop helps researchers develop a strategic approach to their mid- and long-term career goals, scientific ambitions, and the plans of their institutions.
