The Academic Self Defence event this fall will bring you information on salaries, issues with funding and work, and viewpoints on early career researchers.
HUART’s Academic Self Defence event (23 September at 4 pm) aims to improve the readiness of researchers and teachers to understand current issues at the university and to enable them to better navigate the university’s systems of salary, contracts and funding.
The event will be held in the University Main Building, U4075 (Fabianinkatu 33) and on Zoom.
