The promotion of early career researchers is crucial for innovation and knowledge gain at the University of Würzburg.
At the beginning of their academic careers, early career researchers face particular challenges: They develop their own research profiles, build networks and navigate through complex academic structures. The University of Würzburg supports them in this endeavour!
