Survey – International researchers’ career outside academia

If you are you an early stage international researcher currently in Sweden (second-year up to PhD awarded within the last two years), you might be interested in participating in a Vinnova-supported project to map the ability of Swedish universities, to guide international researchers to a possible career outside of academia after completing research/doctoral studies.

To access the research project survey, follow the link: https://survey.liu.se/Survey/12123

Your participation is really appreciated! Feel free to forward this survey to any early stage international researcher that you think  would be willing to help researchers to get a better understanding of career-related support for international researchers in order to achieve a career outside of academia. 

If you want more information about the research project, please contact the project manager Therese Lindkvist (therese.lindkvist@liu.se).
