Ex-Academia Event

Not everyone who has ever worked in academia chooses to continue their career there. Sometimes academic work turns out not to be the right fit; sometimes it is simply different from what you expected. Some people entered with high ideals that did not come to fruition.

Have you worked in an academic setting for at least one year (roughly full-time), and would you like to reflect on your experiences with others who have since left? Join the Journal of Trial and Error event on May 7, from 20:00, at Utrecht University Library City Center.

During the evening, we will engage in an open dialogue. Together, we will explore what lessons the university can learn for improving science and higher education, and how these insights might help make academia more sustainable and appealing for the next generation.
