The University of Minho Invites to Arqus Summer School for Early-Stage Researchers

The University of Minho invites Arqus Early-Stage Researchers to its Summer School this July. The Arqus Summer School on Research Leadership and Career Development for Early-Stage Researchers will take place from 7 to 9 July 2025. The event is organised by the University of Minho as part of the Arqus Innovation Fund.

The programme consists of three interactive modules designed to enhance participants’ leadership skills and career development in research. The first module focuses on the Principles of Research Leadership, providing foundational insights into effective leadership within the academic and scientific context. The second module, Managing People and Leading Research Teams, explores strategies for building and guiding successful research teams. The third module, Careers in Research: Paths and Opportunities, delves into various career trajectories and development opportunities available to researchers.
Participants will also have the opportunity to hear from invited speakers, including Dr Sandra Schmid, Chief Scientific Officer at Chan Zuckerberg Biohub in San Francisco (USA), and Dr Yasmin Dolak-Struss from Solution Base in Austria.

The training is intended for postdoctoral researchers, junior faculty members, and final-year PhD students. Participation is limited to 18 attendees, ensuring an engaging and personalised learning experience. The training is free of charge, though travel and accommodation expenses should be covered by each participant’s institution through mobility funding.
