UBIAS Talk Series for Early Career Researchers

From Fellow to Future

A series of curated conversations offering twin perspectives on early-career support at university based Institutes for Advanced Studies (UBIAS)

The UBIAS seminar series consists of short curated conversations offering twin perspectives on early-career research at Institutes for Advanced Study globally: "ECR Individual Success" and "Institutional Growth".

University based Institutes for Advanced Study provide a special academic environment and freedom to research in a likewise crucial and creative phase – without offering a permanent position.
In this context, the ECR perspective focuses on career development, grant writing, publication pressure and global networking, while the IAS perspective centres on interdisciplinarity, excellency, talent acquisition, community building, and enhancing university presence.

The series is likely to be of interest to doctoral students seeking their first postdoctoral positions, early-career researchers, staff at IASs and their associated universities, current Fellows, IAS alumnae/i and potential applicants. Future sessions will explore interdisciplinarity, mentoring, and making an academic career.

Further information on the network of university based Institutes for Advanced Study, its activities and the 47 members across the world can be found at http://www.ubias.net/. The 2026 Topic of the Year “The Future of Knowledge Production” encourages all members to open space for intellectual debates and contribute with events.

The events will be live on ZOOM. Recordings are available afterwards on the UBIAS website and YouTube channel.
