Below you will find an overview of initiatives, supported by the University of Antwerp and in collaboration with other Flemish universities or research centres. Click on the titles to find out more about:
- Flemish AI Academy (VAIA)
- Lectures on effective communication
- Mind the GAP online training tool on research integrity
- FLAMES training network for methodology and statistics
- Let’s Talk Science event
- The interuniversity training offer website for Early Career Researchers of the five Flemish universities.
In addition, the UAntwerp also collaborates with European universities as part of the Young Universities for the Future of Europe (YUFE) alliance. This allows all UAntwerp staff to participate in YUFE's trainings and activities. Several of these training courses specifically target postdoctoral researchers. Go check out the YUFE Staff Portal for more information! We highlight an interesting YUFE pilot for postdoctoral researchers below.
The YUFE pilot on ‘Postdoctoral Training and Development’
Watch this video, where we briefly explain the YUFE pilot on ‘Postdoctoral Training and Development’!
The YUFE Alliance is based on the joint vision of ten young research-intensive universities and two non-academic partners located all across Europe with a shared dedication to the European spirit and the common aim to contribute to a more competitive, innovative and united Europe and the ambition to help address today’s challenges.
As part of the YUFE vision for joint European education, the YUFE partners want to integrate doctoral and postdoctoral training activities with the YUFE values. Specifically for postdoctoral training, YUFE aims to develop, promote, implement and pilot the YUFE Postdoctoral Training and Development Scheme and to organise YUFE courses for early career researchers.
With the development of the YUFE Postdoctoral Training and Developing Scheme, YUFE wants to provide institutionalised network-broad support, foster new collaboration opportunities, facilitate mobility and provide international YUFE-wide high-quality training and peer networking opportunities, bearing in mind that postdoctoral researchers are a distinct target group that merit specific attention and support in their endeavours, their teaching, their research, in finding balance and personal development.
The YUFE pilot on ‘Postdoctoral Training and Development’ will start in November 2024. If you have any additional questions, you can contact Karolien.vanDessel@uantwerp.be and/or Kristien.Daems@uanwerp.be.
