On\u00a0May 13,\u00a02026\u00a0Association Bernard Gregory (ABG) will host an online event\u00a0celebration of the first\u00a0European Doctoral Day. Under the theme\u00a0\u201cHow a PhD Broadens Career Opportunities Outside Academia\u201d.\u00a0During the half day we will explore\u00a0current trends in doctoral careers, intersectoral mobility initiatives, and recruitment practices. By bringing together international organizations, public institutions, researchers’ associations, and companies, it will provide young researchers with insight into the European career landscape.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The program includes two roundtable discussions: the first one presents recent European survey data and current and future initatives and perspectives on intersectoral mobility, and the second one features\u00a0recruiter\u2013PhD tandems.\u00a0These pairs provide a dual perspective on recruitment practices and professional integration beyond academia, including the testimony of a researcher in exile. This initiative aims to strengthen dialogue between academia and non-academic sectors and to promote the employability and mobility of PhD holders across Europe.\u00a0<\/p>\n
