What a fantastic #GraspOS webinar on the Peer Exchange Platform for Narrative-style CVs!

It was truly inspiring to dive into the potential of narrative CVs in reshaping research culture & fostering a more inclusive approach to academic assessment through the PEP-CV platform.

A huge thank you to our incredible speakers:

🎤 Pooja Khurana, Ph.D. | Marie Curie Alumni Association

🎤 Sean Sapcariu | @Luxembourg National Research Fund

Looking forward to the next steps! #NarrativeCVs

Some nice resources from the #DORAat10 events from yesterday:

I under-appreciated the amount of work going into policies and practices for academic career assessment.

Very excited the second recruitment to enrol in our Narrative CV trial is live - a great opportunity in Material Science. If you know lots about nitride crystal growth and materials fabrication (I'm a bit out of my depth with this one…) and want to work with people who are reflective about their research culture:

#NarrativeCVs are a good development in the field and I am glad that I was given the opportunity to learn over the past year to write some for specific purposes.

Funny requests among those:

1) Mandatory inclusion of a picture of myself. 🤦 🤦🤦

2) Please include up to 10 key outputs from the last two years.

If new to you, resources to start with:
