 in the talent development program in several ways. I have taken individual career counseling with BB Kapol and I think it was very useful for me to get a more strategic approach to my career and career planning and to know what next steps I should take for my specific career path. I believe all together the initiative is very helpful for many reasons. On the one side it helps develop skills outside of one's academic expertise that help with leadership and project management and also imagine what we want to do in the future with our career. More planning and strategic ways and obtain information that we usually need to develop our career. As postdoc and assistant professor and during your first year of the junior track position you have to think about your career and the platform will give you information about three career tracks. One within research leadership, one within education and teaching and the third career track will describe competences which we think are needed when you will go into industry. I have also participated in a number of courses provided by the research leadership track and some examples of those courses are project management, a practitioner's approach and a number of workshops on fundraising. I think it's very useful because as a young scientist or a young researcher you need to develop not only your specific skills and become a better specialist in your field but you also need to be able to manage projects, supervise students, develop leadership skills and I think it's great that I have the possibility to take these courses and get some tools and get better at these things not only on my own but also with some guidance. At the same time there's the opportunity to meet other junior researchers and develop social cohesion in ways that are important to not feel alone during the postdoctoral years. The Hughes University Junior Research Association is part of this initiative in order to create a framework where communication can be facilitated and therefore we address the important issues regarding the working conditions of junior researchers at the university.
