CINet Young Academics (CIYA)

Being a young academic offers you many new interesting challenges and responsibilities. Some of them in which you have already developed a good expertise and others require you to gain new competences. This is an exciting but also very challenging time in your research career, where you transition from being a student to becoming an excellent and experienced researcher.

In order to better deal with this transition, an initiative was taken to establish a new forum within the CINet community, which focuses especially on young academics. This forum is called CIYA (CINet Young Academics). CIYA is envisioned as the opportunity to discuss challenging issues for young academics, learn about relevant topics to gain more experience with, and establish research activities across and amongst our group of young academics. CIYA is considered to be a collaborative stepping stone in the direction of becoming excellent and experienced researchers. Typical CIYA topics include:

• setting up (joint) research projects – national and international
• funding activities
• developing a publication strategy and publication pipeline
• reviewing for recognized journals
• teaching
