Career Activities for Early-Career Researchers
The MAPEX Center for Materials and Processes supports initiatives led by early-career researchers (ECRs) who wish to expand their professional networks and enhance their qualifications. To foster interdisciplinary exchange and career development, we invite small groups of doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers to propose career-related activities such as inviting guest lecturers for seminars, organizing workshops, networking events, or hosting discussion panels.
Who Can Apply?
Groups consisting of about 5 ECRs from different research groups and disciplines.
Proposals should promote collaboration between different faculties and/or institutes.
Application Requirements
Please submit a brief proposal (max. 1 page) addressing the following points:
- Group Composition: List the involved ECRs, their affiliations, and their motivation to initiate the activity.
- Target Audience: Describe the intended audience, including the expected number of participants. Faculty members and senior researchers are welcome to participate.
- Activity Details: Provide information on the type of event (e.g., lecture, seminar, workshop) and its objectives.
- Competency Gains: Explain how the proposed activity will enhance the competencies and qualifications of both participants and organizers.
- Guest Information (if applicable): Include details of the invited guest(s), such as name, affiliation, and relevance to the topic. A photo, abstract, title, and brief CV will be required for promotional purposes and can be submitted at a later stage.
- Budget: Provide an estimate of the expected costs.
- Benefit for MAPEX: Explain why MAPEX should support this initiative and how it will contribute to the center’s mission of fostering interdisciplinary collaboration.
