Arqus Mentoring Programme for Early-Stage Researchers
Within this competitive international programme, early-stage researchers are matched with established researchers from another Arqus university to receive feedback and advice on topics such as career options and decisions, time management, application processes, work organisation and skills development. It is an excellent opportunity to think about your future trajectory and gain insight into academic pathways.
To accompany the mentoring journey, online training sessions and check-ins for the mentee group will be organised throughout the year. This third edition of the 9-month programme will begin in early October 2025 with an in-person kick-off workshop in Graz, Austria.
The deadline to apply is 31 March 2025, 23:59 CET.

Arqus PhD Week for Careers Beyond Academia meets Fiasco Fest
The Arqus Career Week is a 5-day programme intended to support PhD researchers in exploring and pursuing career paths beyond university research. The programme offers talks and workshops, led by a group of career experts with international backgrounds, to help participants recognise their labour market skills and give insight into application and hiring processes as well as company cultures outside academia.
This 5th edition of the Arqus Career Week brings a special collaboration with the project Fiasco Fest goes Arqus, previously organised by the PostDoc Office at the University of Graz. The Fiasco Fest is a party-workshop offering a space for doctoral and postdoctoral researchers to share career setbacks and to learn how to joyfully move from rejection and failure to your best professional self.
Applications are open until Monday 24 March 2025, 23:59 CET
