INSPIRING ERA Launches Factsheet on Research Careers in the European Research Area

INSPIRING ERA is proud to present its second thematic factsheet, focused on Research Careers.

INSPIRING ERA is proud to present its second thematic factsheet, focused on ERA Action 4: Research Careers. This new resource outlines the key concepts and showcases the vast portfolio of policy measures helping support more attractive, sustainable, and inclusive career pathways for researchers.

Fostering strong, dynamic research careers is fundamental to building a resilient and competitive European Research Area. By improving working conditions, career development prospects, and mobility for researchers, ERA Action 4 helps ensure that Europe remains a global leader in research and innovation.

This factsheet is designed to support researchers, research organisations and other stakeholders in implementing impactful reforms and initiatives aligned with the ERA Policy Agenda. We encourage all ERA-related actors to explore, share, and apply this resource as we work together to strengthen the research profession across Europe.
