Everyday sexism and racism in the ivory tower. The experiences of female early career researchers on the intersection of gender and ethnicity in the academic workplace. Vrije Universiteit Brussel
The academic workplace is often described as a place of merit and equal opportunities. However, research shows a leaky pipeline where the share of women and people of color decreases in the higher echelons of academia. Explanations are often structural referring to the access barriers women are confronted with such as hiring and recruitment. This research investigates what goes wrong in the early phases of a female academic's career. From an ...
Bridging the gap - how to walk the talk on supporting early career researchers. KU Leuven
Early career researchers (ECRs) play a crucial role in European and nationally funded research projects. They are at the forefront of planning, conducting, analysing, and reporting research.

Future of probiotics and prebiotics and the implications for early career researchers Universiteit Antwerpen
The opportunities in the fields of probiotics and prebiotics to a great degree stem from what we can learn about how they influence the microbiota and interact with the host. We discuss recent insights, cutting-edge technologies and controversial results from the perspective of early career researchers innovating in these areas. This perspective emerged from the 2019 meeting of the International Scientific Association for Probiotics and ...

Engaged learning and the early career researcher Universiteit Antwerpen
We aim to push forward the agenda of the University as a part of an ecosystem of knowledge production addressing public problem-solving. With this framework in mind, addressing the concept of Engaged Learning at an early stage (such as the PhD level) has been thought most prudent in pushing forward this agenda. Though of course not every PhD researcher will go on to work in university or teaching roles, most of those who do enter those roles ...
