Our Mission
We support and mentor researchers on their career path – irrespective of whether this path leads to a university or other research institution, to an enterprise or nonprofit organization. Because our society needs the potential of trained researchers everywhere.

We ADVISE researchers independently and on an equal footing on career questions; we CONNECT peers and experts in all sectors and, together with our funding partners, PROMOTE them through programs that help to ensure that researchers can operate effectively within society.
