A career in research is exciting and gives you the opportunity to explore and develop your chosen field. If you are aiming at a research career, you enter into a highly competitive environment where you need to master a broad spectrum of competences that apart from research encompasses the ability to publish and attract your own funding.

When planning your research career, you need to think strategically about when and where to publish and when to apply for funding. At the same time, advancing in a research career also means that you face challenges that may be new to you, such as being a leader of a research team, a supervisor or a project manager.
