Abstract

The Post-Doc & Early-Career Workshop is intended to provide an opportunity for researchers early in their careers working in the Learning Sciences to discuss their own research, to discuss post-doc and early-career challenges with peers and senior mentors and to initiate international networks related to their research topics. Topics addressed include funding opportunities, including the kinds of funding Post-Docs and Early Career Researchers can apply for; how to develop a research agenda and/or career path, including publishing, where and how much; how to mentor and supervise graduate students; new research methods; possibilities for building international research networks; international mobility/going abroad including how, how long, where. The Workshop will also have a specific focus on the specificities of the CSCL community and on the dilemma with which this community is confronted (interdisciplinarity, gaps between different methodological approaches). Participants are post-doc and early career researchers (starting with those just finalizing their doctoral thesis to those having 5 years of experience after receiving the doctorate). In addition to researchers interested in experimental research, researchers interested in scientific issues linked to implementation and practice (scalability, sustainability, etc.) will participate. The following 27 applicants have been accepted to participate in the workshop.
