PhDs' 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!

More resources about researchers' mobility

For (many) more resources regarding all the issues surrounding mobility, we encourage you to take a look at the videos we produced after our event :

Organized in 2017 by ABG, UFA-DFH, UFI-UIF, this event was a unique opportunity to meet representatives of companies, research institutes, mobility funding bodies, and career advisors from different European countries.

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.

Consult the videos of all the sessions, as well as the event's highlights and practical advice given by the speakers on following topics:

  • recruitment process in industry and academia;
  • doctoral and postdoctoral funding schemes (Marie-Curie-Sklodowska actions and EIT InnoEnergy);
  • practical information for a mobility in Europe: Euraxess, dual career service, pension fund;
  • public-private partnerships and their impact on PhD career development.
