We are pleased to share two valuable resources developed under the ERA TALENT third-party funded projects, aimed at supporting early-career researchers in exploring impactful career paths beyond academia.
These materials are part of the EURAXESS Researcher Careers Beyond Academia (REBECA) Hub, which connects EURAXESS members to offer services that facilitate researchers’ transition to non-academic careers, enhancing the permeability of research talent across sectors.
1. MR2YR – Mentoring Routes: Unleashing Innovative Careers for Young Researchers
Developed by the Edmund Mach Foundation, this project features a series of short interviews with innovation experts, recorded during a workshop held on 12 March 2025. These videos offer insights into entrepreneurship, public-private collaboration, and intellectual property strategies.
Watch and share the interviews:
- From Research to Impact – Alberto Nucciarelli

- Intellectual Property Strategies – Massimiliano Granieri
- From Researcher to Entrepreneur – José Luis Mullor Sanjosé
2. TRACK Project – Careers in Research Management and Knowledge Transfer
Led by AGAUR, this video series explores the personal journeys of professionals who transitioned into Research Management (RM) and Knowledge Transfer (KT) roles. These stories help fill a critical information gap and inspire researchers to consider diverse career paths.

We kindly ask you to disseminate these resources among your researchers, especially those considering career paths outside academia. These materials are designed to inspire, inform, and support their professional development. We have created a package for you to disseminate; please find attached
