Career tracking pilot study of doctorate-holding Researchers
Description
“The aim of this pilot was to identify the quality standards and processes involved in the study of a large and diverse population of doctorate holders. A large part of the study was to identify and communicate the methodological and statistical steps involved in conducting career tracking over time. The ESF has championed this area over the years, has facilitated experts coming together and has published their recommendations. The pilot project results from a report called 'Developing Research Careers In and Beyond Europe', produced through the collaborative effort of 23 research organisations. It draws on findings from an international workshop co-hosted by the ESF and the National Research Fund (FNR) of Luxembourg in February 2012. For the first time, this brought career tracking of researchers into the international research policy agenda and provided the backbone for this initiative.”[1]
