Ex-Academia

Not everyone who has worked in academia chooses to continue their career there. Sometimes academic work turns out not to be the right fit; sometimes it is simply different from what you expected. Some people entered with high ideals that did not come to fruition.

During this free event, we will engage in a conversation about working at the university. Together, we will also reflect on what universities could do better to prevent people like you from leaving academia. We are looking for former employees of Utrecht University (in research and/or teaching) with at least the equivalent of one year of experience.

Have you previously worked in academia (for at least the equivalent of one year in research or higher education)? Would you like to share your experiences and hear the stories of other former academics? Then we would love to welcome you to Ex-Academia!
