"I am doing my doctorate because I am interested in future-oriented topics and would like to apply my acquired knowledge in practice at the same time!" Did you know? The DBFZ’s doctoral programme, which has been in existence since 2013, offers #doctoral students a variety of opportunities to delve deeper into a topic in the field of #bioenergy and #bioeconomy and to apply the knowledge they have acquired in applied #research. For practical work on their research topics, doctoral #students will find state-of-the-art technology in the DBFZ’s well-equipped #laboratories, pilot plants and offices. The expert supervision provided by experienced DBFZ #scientists is an additional guarantee of high-quality doctoral supervision and research. Academic supervision is generally provided by renowned #universities in #Germany with which the DBFZ maintains research partnerships. The doctoral students take an active part in the research life of the DBFZ right from the start and are integrated into ongoing projects. Regular participation in high-level scientific events (e.g. Doctoral Colloquium BIOENERGY and DBFZ Annual Conference) introduces them to the scientific community at an early stage. In addition, they are given the opportunity to consolidate their experience through committee work. https://lnkd.in/eVrNwU_U #DocBIOENERGY #Biomass #Bioenergy #Bioeconomy #DOC #PhD #Research #Network #Doctoral #Young_Scientists #PostDoc

The upcoming arXiv API upgrade is set to transform scientific research by introducing an indexed affiliation search, enabling researchers to track specific institutional output and collaborations. The upgraded API will also integrate with ORCID, allowing users to track a researcher's contributions across multiple fields within the arXiv database, thus promoting a highly targeted search mechanism. This development is expected to empower the research ecosystem by fostering open science, promoting transparency, and inspiring collaboration, ushering us into a new era of scientific research.

[Promotion of Scientific Culture 2024: Winners] 📢 Over the next few days, we'll be presenting the 10 winning projects from the "Promoting Scientific Culture" 2024 initiative. ✅ The “Connect2Age: Uniting generations!" project is one of the winners of the 2024 "Promoting Scientific Culture" initiative. ➡️ “Connect2Age: Uniting generations!” aims to promote an interdisciplinary exchange of knowledge through talks between PhD students and senior citizens. ➡️ It aims to contribute to the scientific literacy of the older population, giving them the opportunity to share experiences, acquire new skills and maintain their social and sociability links, which are essential to their well-being. 📌 More information: 🔗https://lnkd.in/di6CQai2 #development #research #culture #science #communication #UCoimbra #iiiUC #interdisciplinarity III_UC | Institute of Interdisciplinary Research Universidade de Coimbra CHSC FLUC Center for Neuroscience and Cell Biology Laboratório Associado para a Química Verde (LAQV/REQUIMTE) #CINEICC #ISR

Here's more evidence of changing post-PhD career paths, this time for graduates of the European Molecular Biology Laboratory. More recent cohorts were less likely to go into PI roles, and more likely to go into other academic roles, industry research, non-research, and even non-science roles. While in this particular example the majority of graduates stayed in academia, it's a pretty reasonable assumption that academia will be the minority outcome for EMBL graduates soon.

First big thing out of the gate for the Metascience Unit! Are you interested in the impacts of AI on R&D? How we define and measure the impact of science? How can we best support and develop research talent?  What is the best way to enable breakthrough discoveries? Department for Science, Innovation and Technology, UK Research and Innovation and Open Philanthropy are jointly investing up to £5m in metascience research to understand what works for the R&D system and how we can improve it. This funding will support ambitious metascience research projects that will generate robust evidence and actionable insights for decision makers in government, funding bodies, and research organisations. https://lnkd.in/ekKq2_QS
