Short description:
Within the Activity 3.1: Training of WBC researchersconcerning the role and significance of C&C and HRS4R, the University of Novi Sad organised three seminars on the following topic: Standards and principles of the European Union in connection with the career development of researchers and their implementation which were attended by 108 researchers in total.

The first seminar was organized on February 6th, 2017 and the second on February 9th, 2017 both at the Rectorate of the University of Novi Sad in collaboration with the Programme TRAIN.

Problems encountered during the events preparation phase

(To be filled by organisers)

-To gather all the researchers in one place for one seminar (due to their different obligations and activities). Because of that we had to organise three events. Thus we managed toinform 108 researchers about standards and principles of the European Union in connection with the career development of researchers and their implementation at the University of Novi Sad.
