Work with ABG on your European project

Are you leading a European project as part of a doctoral or postdoctoral programme, or planning to (re)submit a proposal soon? ABG can support you as a partner or contributor in an ongoing project.

Since 2017, ABG has been accredited as a “Euraxess Career Development Center” by the European Commission. We take part in different types of European projects serving researchers, in which we deploy our expertise around the following areas:

• doctoral training;
• career development;
• mobility.

In particular, we provide support through training and guidance for your doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers in the following areas: 

• exploring non-academic career opportunities;
• team management and researcher supervision;
• intercultural integration of new international recruits.

[We also provide support for your project’s communication, as well as advice on the recruitment process.]

What we offer

That is why we offer a range of services aligned with the expectations and constraints of both evaluators and project coordinators.

In practical terms, our offer includes:

• publishing the call for applications for international researchers on the ABG website and exporting vacancies to partner websites, notably Euraxess Jobs;
• communication activities across a range of web channels (newsletters, social media), as well as the distribution of print materials at numerous events;
• tailor-made training courses [delivered in English] for doctoral candidates and postdoctoral researchers, covering a wide range of topics: building a career plan, the employment market for PhDs, showcasing research experience and skills, international mobility, applications and recruitment processes, networking and social media…
• a training course for supervisors of doctoral candidates recruited under the European programme;
• support for researchers’ spouses/partners [aimed at applicants with at least Master’s level] in working on their career plans and job search – an important factor for young researchers when choosing a host institution
