Providing an individual consultation on national and international research funding opportunities implies not only the expertise in funding formats and their specifics, but also requires an assessment, whether the chosen funding scheme is the right format for the current career stage of individual researchers. The discussions about strategic career planning, especially with postdocs, often accompany such individual consultations. In the track “Research Support: Diverse and Open Career Paths for Postdocs in Academia and beyond” we will have a closer look at typical career paths in academia after PhD and discuss if they can be systematically planned in advance. What alternatives to the jobs in academia are there and what specific support do freshly graduated PhDs and international postdocs need? We plan to discuss current developments and initiatives in the field of general research assessment on EU and national level as well as obstacles and enablers of a scientific career and how can we consider them in our practices
