webconferences as group discussions for best practice during lockdown

In addition to these webinars, ABG also offered several series of webconferences during the lockdown and the phase out of it. These were times for exchange, reflection and personal advice, in small groups of 8 people. Their objectives were to be able to exchange around a theme, your resources and your possible hindrances, in order to better accompany you in your reflections.

Here are a few testimonials from participants in these sessions and webinars:

I really enjoyed yesterday's exchange, it was very interesting to get the point of view of other PhD students. Being already a difficult journey, the current situation makes it even more so.

I found the tools and resources presented to help us find opportunities and contacts targeted to the positions we are interested in very useful.
I was able to add these groups to my linkedin to find contacts and exchange ideas.

Thanks for all the good advice. I enjoyed the friendly atmosphere. This session was planned for 8 people and I'm delighted because the time went by very quickly. It was hard to find fault...

I participated in the webinar "Research opportunities in France", which was very enriching with its panel of exceptional women. I hope to be aware of many more such events.

Yesterday's web conference was very helpful. I especially appreciated the fact that we came from different backgrounds and had a great time of discussion. I might have more details about docpro tools.

It was interesting to exchange and compare one's own views on the exploration of employment, the importance of the network, how to maintain it [...] I was able to read the ABG's guide to international mobility.
In a period of confinement it is very useful to be able to exchange in this way in a small group.
