🚀 What Really Matters in Research Careers?

👩‍🔬👨‍🏫 Whether you are an early-stage researcher or a mentor, your experience matters.
We are exploring a key question:
what competencies truly matter in research—and are they actually supported in practice?

📊 As part of the Horizon Europe SMART Researchers project, we are mapping the gap between expectations and reality in research career development across Europe.

👉 Who is this for?
👩‍🔬 Early-Stage Researchers (ESRs): PhD candidates and researchers within 5 years after completing their PhD
👨‍🏫 Mentors & Supervisors: PhD supervisors, research group leaders, project leaders, and senior researchers supporting early-stage researchers

Your input will help:
identify critical skill gaps
improve training and mentoring practices
strengthen research careers and institutional support

⏱️ Takes only 10–15 minutes
👉 Choose your perspective and participate

Kroz saradnju 7 institucija iz Srbije, Hrvatske i Grčke, mapirali smo ključne snage i izazove u istraživačkoj zajednici. Rezultati nam daju jasan putokaz za dalje unapređenje radnih uslova i razvoj karijera istraživača.
Ponosni smo na postignuto! 🚀

Through the collaboration of 7 institutions from Serbia, Croatia, and Greece, we have mapped the key strengths and challenges within the research community. These results provide a clear roadmap for further improving working conditions and researcher career development.
We are proud of what we've achieved! 🚀

Prošle nedelje smo u Splitu napravili važan korak ka unapređenju istraživačke zajednice u regionu! 🚀

Na EFST Ekonomski fakultet - Sveučilište u Splitu, u okviru projekta SMART Researchers, naš tim je predstavio rezultate institucionalnog assessmenta koji smo sproveli u tri zemlje:
🇭🇷 Hrvatskoj
🇷🇸 Srbiji
🇬🇷 Grčkoj

Verujemo da su ovi podaci ključna osnova za kreiranje konkretnih strateških i akcionih planova. Naš zajednički cilj je jasan: bolje radno okruženje i kvalitetnije prilike za istraživače.

Hvala partnerima na odličnoj saradnji! Idemo dalje. 💡

Last week in Split, we took an important step toward enhancing the regional research community! 🚀

At the University of Split, Faculty of Economics (EFST), as part of the SMART Researchers project, our team presented the results of the institutional assessment we conducted across three countries:
🇭🇷 Croatia
🇷🇸 Serbia
🇬🇷 Greece

We believe this data is a vital foundation for creating concrete strategic and action plans. Our shared goal is clear: a better working environment and higher-quality opportunities for researchers.

Huge thanks to our partners for the great collaboration! Moving forward.💡
