Researchers of all fields are welcome to join us for an afternoon workshop, presenting various EU and Chinese fellowships from an informal, practical perspective.
This EURAXESS Share event is aimed at all researchers, regardless of nationality, who are looking into possible funding opportunities and want to get practical information as well as learn about others' first-hand experience.
Researchers who went through the process of applying and receiving various fellowships will share their experience with the audience, in order to get the full 'real' story from the applicants' perspective.
Through open discussion among all participants, including senior researchers and recipients of other funding programmes, the afternoon will allow attendees to access relevant and practical information for advancing their research between Europe and China.
The event will also provide a good networking opportunity.
Registration opens at 14.00. The event will start at 14.30 with three panel discussions. The afternoon concludes at 18.00 and will be followed by a networking cocktail.
