Programme
First, Katrien De Moor (AYF) will briefly present a number of key findings.

Next, the panel discussion will address different topics and challenges related to the "postdoc career path".

How can you best navigate in and out of academia? How are you to balance between expectations inside and outside academia and for how long? When is it time to let go? We will also discuss which role research institutions can and should play in this respect, and how can they optimally support postdoctoral researchers.
