The ‘Bulgarian Days of Career Development and Mobility of Researchers’ (BG_CareerDays) Project is a Horizon 2020 funded project with the objectives of promoting an open labour market for young researchers aimed at facilitating mobility, supporting training, ensuring attractive careers opportunities, as well as rising the awareness in the country about EURAXESS network and its services.
The main project activity is the organization and conduction of one-day event in five Bulgarian university cities, where EURAXESS Local Contact Points are present and at the same time the main businesses with R&D are based: Sofia, Plovdiv, Stara Zagora, Varna and Ruse. The general focus of the event is to promote research career opportunities and provide up-to-date relevant information, related to mobility and career development to PhD and master students and thus contribute to maximizing their career prospects. In addition, post docs, experienced researchers and the general public will be targeted to widely disseminate the project goals, EURAXESS services and the newly set up EC EURAXESS Portal.
The main objectives of the ‘Bulgarian Days of Career Development and Mobility of Researchers’ (BG_CareerDays) project are:
• To define attractive event programme.
• To plan and perform a wide range of promotional activities in order to reach a large number of representatives of the identified target audiences.
• To conduct successfully the event in the five selected locations
• To maximize the expected impact by identifying suitable measures for ensuring the sustainability of the achieved results after the project end.
