Shaping the future of science
Making an impact in science can be tough. It’s not always easy to publish, secure funding, gain visibility or know what career path to choose. On this portal, you’ll get to see how fellow scientists are navigating these challenges.
We also have some other exciting activities coming up. You’ll have the chance to apply for a grant, promote your work, take a career quiz and build skills that you can use across different professions.
Where will your science take you?
