Back in December 2024, COST launched its latest Cross-Cutting Activity (CCA) on career development for young researchers, dedicated to improving career conditions to attract and retain the best researchers in Europe.
This is a unique new network, consisting of (young) researchers, career advisory experts, and key stakeholder organisations, who will work together towards achieving a more balanced brain circulation and improved career development for young researchers. Fully supported by COST, the CCA core network is represented by 2 Co-Chairs, 14 researchers and 18 career advisors, together covering 21 COST Member Countries. In addition, there is the wider CCA network, represented by 8 key stakeholder organisations that will support the CCA by providing a strategic outlook and advice on CCA activities to be implemented.
