The EGU General Assembly has been notable for attracting early career scientists (ECS) from not just the European Union, but from all parts of the world. In recent years, this has also been reflected in the number of ECS globally joining institutes in the EU for research. For first-timers, this can be daunting to navigate the challenges arising in a new research environment.

This webinar series, "Careers Across Borders", will inform ECS who are planning to, or who have just begun to transition to the EU, on the various resources available as well as tips to effectively collaborate. Additionally, we also present experiences on how various ECS tackled challenges and gained networks and mental support. The target audience is both EU and international ECS, especially PhD candidates and post-doc researchers.

Part one of this series will focus on academic career prospects and managing mobility for researchers moving internationally to and within the European Union. In particular, it will address well-known as well as oft-missed funding opportunities s (pertaining to either the EU or a specific country), eligibility, and the do's and don'ts of managing a mobile academic career.

The second part will provide insights into building effective collaborations and will feature experiences of ECS that have already navigated the challenges, providing tips on mental health support, work-life balance and effective resources to understand bureaucracy.
