PhD holders' mobility testimonies

You still need to hear / read more? Or simply to be more inspired? No problem, we offer a series of PhDs' testimonials [available in English and French] in the form of articles, or videos, in the section "the ABG perspective" of our website www.abg.asso.fr. It provides a variety of testimonies of PhDs from all disciplines, and all seniorities, who tell their stories of mobility... whether it is inter-sectoral or geographical.

We can also assist you with a precious tool : the country by country mobility guide gives very simple access (by means of an interactive map) to all the resources available, by country: grants, funding, testimonials, calls for applications, European projects, etc. Definitely a tool to keep in mind!

Through plenary sessions, workshops, individual advisory sessions and a fair, participants were able to deepen their knowledge of:

  • European research landscapes;
  • Doctoral and postdoctoral funding programs;
  • Recruitment processes in both the academic and industrial sectors.

They were also offered advice and information on how to address mobility-related challenges such as:

  • pensions;
  • dual-career couples;
  • return mobility.
