On 11 February, the Academy’s Yaffa Epstein and Andreas Nord visited Linköping University to discuss Young Academy of Sweden’s publication “A Beginner’s Guide to Swedish Academia”. The visit was organised by Euraxess, which supports international researchers in Sweden.
Therese Lindqvist, Linköping University and EURAXESS and members of the Young Academy of Sweden Yaffa Epstein, associate professor in environmental law at Uppsala University and Andreas Nord, associate professor in biology at Lund University.
The discussion revolved around career paths and academic merit systems, including the differences between a senior lecturer and assistant professorships (BUL), what applies during funding gaps, and how long the employment as a BUL needs to be before a docentship application can become relevant. The process to become a member of Young Academy also sparked interest.
A Beginner’s Guide to Swedish Academia, developed by the Young Academy of Sweden, provides a valuable overview for new researchers and helps navigate the Swedish research landscape.
