Research

Enpower talent

It is again possible to register for the AU mentor scheme Empower Talent, which matches staff at assistant professor/researcher/postdoc level with more experienced colleagues at associate professor level or above for a period of one year. Among other things the purpose is to have more dialogue about career opportunities, which may contribute to retain and attract talented employees.
The next deadline for registration is April 20, 2017.
