The career of a researcher in the European Research Area
It will also contribute to future initiatives put forward under the Italian Presidency on issues related to the profession and careers of researchers in the European Research Area. Strengthening the human resources in research involves a combination of initiatives at different levels, which embrace issues such as creating favourable training and working conditions for researchers in Europe as well as attracting more young people into science careers and enhancing the social visibility of a researcher's profession.
The topics discussed at the Conference and their results will contribute to the work undertaken by the Italian Presidency of the EU for enhancing the recognition of careers in R&D and for strengthening career prospects for researchers.
