Deliverables

Launch Career Network website section (opens in new window)

A special section of the LIBRA project website will be dedicated to career development for young scientists and offer information and advice regarding all questions around building a career in science. It will be included with the project website (P1) and will not exclusively address the young female researchers from the IOs but be targeted towards all young researchers in the wider scientific community.

Project website live (opens in new window)

Project website will be built and published

2nd Career Network meeting (opens in new window)

Mid-term revision of the dissemination plan (opens in new window)

With the support of communication professionals at each partner institute, the project manager will coordinate the mid-term revision of the initial dissemination plan, where objectives, target audience, actions and indicators will be clearly identified.

Monitoring Tools (opens in new window)

Once the GEPs are designed in detail by each IO (see WP2), the Monitoring and Assessment Unit (MAU) will define two types of monitoring tools: 1. GEP monitoring cards that indicate the actions to be monitored and their timing; questions concerning relevant issues in implementation will be also included; 2. WP monitoring cards that focus on similar actions implemented by each IO in the 4 different areas (WP3-6); they will be similar to a short open questionnaire to be administered by the WP leaders. A draft version of the monitoring tools will be presented to and discussed with the IOs and the WP leaders and modified as necessary for its approval.

Results on the effects of the newly implemented recruitment strategies (opens in new window)

We will monitor gender balance at each stage of the recruitment process for each advertised scientific position by recording the numbers of men and women who applied for the role, those who were short-listed, interviewed and finally appointed.
