Offer

Researchers selected for the programme are provided with funding for a coaching process comprising from 3 to 6 coaching sessions each lasting 90-120 minutes. The sessions with a qualified coach working with the FNP will in principle take place once monthly, at a place and time determined by the participant. During the coaching process, the participant works on developing professional competences in a chosen area in accordance with the objectives of the SKILLS project, i.e. concerning administration of scientific research, managing research teams, interdisciplinary collaboration, scientific communication, commercialisation of research results or enterprise. The programme?s merits include its personalised character and the fact that it is closely adapted to the participant?s current professional challenges. With the help of the coach, the participant can make a precise diagnosis of his/her professional situation and then develop and implement actions targeted at developing his/her selected areas. The individual nature of the coaching makes the scope of specific areas it can cover very broad. These might include planning the path of professional development, building one?s own team, managing a research team (also interdisciplinary), mentoring, administering research projects, negotiation skills and communication of research results to various audiences.
