Shape the future of research and development (R&D) careers! 💭

📣 The OECD and the EU have launched the Research and Development Careers Survey 2026 to gather insights from the R&D community on career paths, working conditions, mobility experiences, and more.

📊 The survey is part of the Research and Innovation Careers Observatory (ReICO), a joint initiative that collects data on the careers that drive science, technology, and innovation across more than 50 countries. 🌍

🔬 Researchers are a key target group, but the survey is also open to technicians, librarians, research managers, administrators and other professionals supporting R&D.

✍️ Share your experiences and perspectives to help policymakers and employers make better-informed decisions about R&D careers!

⏱️ The survey takes around 10 minutes to complete and is open until 25 September 2026. 📅

❗ Competitive calls such as those the ERC runs "should be the exception, not the channel through which every researcher is forced to go simply to sustain their career", Eurodoc states in a new article published on Research Professional News.

🤝 Eurodoc advocates for there is a need for real national investment in research careers at the national and European level to ensure better conditions for researchers.

❗ On 10 June, Eurodoc was invited by Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva to participate in an implementation dialogue on Attracting and Retaining Research Talent in Europe, alongside representatives from academia, industry, and the public sector.

The discussion focused on the state of Europe's research and innovation ecosystem and on how to improve research careers across the EU to better attract, develop, and retain research talent.

During the dialogue, Eurodoc highlighted the importance of several key priorities, including adequate funding, worker status for all researchers from the doctoral candidate level onwards with full access to social security, benchmarking of salary levels, and greater alignment of research careers across European countries.

Eurodoc thanks Commissioner Ekaterina Zaharieva for the invitation, as well as everyone at the European Commission who made this dialogue possible: Magda De Carli, Slaven Misljencevic, Michele Rosa-Clot, Maria Mecenero, Dario Capezzuto, Vera Nygård, Miguel Durán, Anna Seip, Ana Arana Antelo, and Raffaela Abbate.

❗The Eurodoc Annual General Meeting 2026 took place on 26–27 June in Budapest, hosted by the Hungarian member organisation DOSZ at Semmelweis University.

The AGM was two full days of decisions, elections, and discussion. Three new member organisations joined from Belgium, San Marino, and Austria, bringing Eurodoc's membership to 31 national associations from 26 European countries. The AGM approved the annual and financial reports, adopted a new employment policy, and passed two important policy documents on doctoral co-supervision and the financial conditions of doctoral candidates. A new full administration was elected for 2026/2027, alongside a new board, secretariat, working group coordinators, communication team, auditors, and advisory board members.

The year ahead will be shaped by six working groups - open to any early-career researcher from Europe to join - and a continued commitment to representing ECRs in key European policy processes.

❗ Research is key to Europe’s competitiveness, and the Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) are one of Europe’s strongest instruments to support it.

Eurodoc has joined a group of 15 university networks and research organisations in calling for the MSCA to retain its structure: bottom-up research, free from the influence of today’s agendas, to enable the innovation of tomorrow.

We don’t need a different MSCA. We need more MSCA.

🎓 How can doctoral education better prepare researchers for careers beyond academia?

🧑‍🎓 Eurodoc contributed to this discussion at the 2026 EUA-CDE Annual Meeting as a speaker in the panel “Innovative approaches to supporting doctorate holders’ career pathways beyond academia.”

❗ With the vast majority of doctorate holders eventually pursuing careers outside academia, doctoral education must reflect the reality of research careers. Career development, transferable skills and exposure to diverse pathways should not be treated as add-ons. They should be embedded from the start of the doctoral journey.

📚 Doctoral education creates new knowledge, but it also trains highly qualified people who will shape research, policy, industry and society in many different ways.

🤝 Many thanks to EUA-CDE and its Head, Simon Marti, for the invitation and for fostering such an important European dialogue.
