Aims of the Early Career Scholars Lab
- The Early Career Scholars Lab stems from the recognition of the growing need for our researchers to continue their education on all relevant aspects of their academic career, as well as the importance of strengthening the sense of community and identity of AiIG researchers.
- It aims at:
- Providing an educational opportunity to support the career path of early career scholars
- Nurturing a sense of membership to the AiIG Community in young researchers
- Providing a dedicated opportunity to create a strong community among AiIG early career scholars
- Encouraging collaboration between different Universities
Early Career Scholars Lab 2024 Pathways and Evaluation of Research Impact
- Young scholars are facing today unprecedented challenges deriving from numerous yet often contradictory requests on their research outcome. There is an increasing pressure to produce research outcomes that have an academic relevance and impact on the business and the society. Research impact itself is a complex and often not clearly defined target that needs to be effectively communicate to a variety of stakeholders.
- The main objective of the AiIG Early Career Scholars Lab is to explore the multifaceted nature of research impact and to identify potential pathways and evaluation metrics of the research impact, within and beyond academia.
- The Lab creates an opportunity to learn from the experience of more senior researchers, members of the AiIG community and external speakers, and to discuss among peers the main challenges and possible solutions.
- The Lab includes a keynote speech, panels, seminars and peer discussions (laboratories).
