Workshop 4: The individual career: beyond the “job for life” model

Date:  July 23rd, 2025; 10:00 AM (CEST).

Location: Virtual

Length: 2 hours

Participant cap:  ~30, aimed at students and early career researchers

Instructor: Dr. Haris Saslis (haris.saslis@transmittingscience.com)

Description: Many people think of a career as a linear progression within a field, but careers can be a lot more flexible and diverse than that. We evolve as individuals, and so do our needs, life commitments, priorities, and passions. In this workshop, we will investigate how to build a career that caters to our needs. We will discuss different career models that consider –among others– our values, life-work balance, self-expression, and passions. We will explore how to tune in with ourselves to identify key life and work priorities, and how to align our careers with these evolving priorities.
