About this talk
This talk, presented by Dr. Stijn Delaure and Dario Capezzuto from the European Commission, along with Stefanos Plastras and Harilaos Koumaras from NCSR Demokritos, examines the restructuring of research careers within Europe through the development of coordinated talent ecosystems and supportive policy frameworks. The session highlights the European Research Area's initiatives aimed at enhancing researcher mobility, improving working conditions, and aligning research careers with the demands of industry.
Key topics include the introduction of voluntary frameworks and new legislative instruments to tackle structural investment and coordination gaps, as well as a focus on the DeepTechSeeds project, which aims to bolster the skills of early career researchers in deep tech fields. The speakers discuss challenges such as limited mobility between sectors and competency gaps, ultimately advocating for stronger collaboration between academia and industry to ensure talent is effectively nurtured and retained within the European research landscape.
