Main findings from the Coimbra Group Workshop on “Researcher Development and Research as a Profession”
28 January 2021
Many recent studies and surveys, including the Coimbra Group Report on the Practices at Coimbra Group Universities in Response to the Covid-19, have depicted an adverse impact of Covid-19 restriction measures on researchers, and in particular, on early-career stage researchers. Against this backdrop, a joint virtual meeting of the Coimbra Group Research Support Officers and Doctoral Studies working groups took place on 9th December 2020 to reflect on and explore the challenges linked to strengthening research careers and producing a more sustainable researcher pipeline with greater opportunities for diversification and promotion.
