(EU ERA TALENT) FEM, as an EURAXESS Local Point, is committed to promoting the development of careers and the mobility of researchers. The project "Mentoring Routes: Unleashing Innovative Careers for Young Researchers (MR2YR)" pursues this goal by aligning with the ERA Talents action, which aims to improve the interoperability of careers and the employability of talents in the field of research and innovation across various sectors.

The project offers a training program dedicated to young researchers and PhD students, including workshops, meetings, and seminars led by experts. It focuses on enhancing research through the drafting of project proposals, strategies for communicating the impact and results of research, and entrepreneurship.

The aim is to support young researchers and doctoral students in shaping their future and exploring new career opportunities beyond traditional academic paths, while bridging the gap between their current research activities and future aspirations. It also aims at linking research with society by encouraging young researchers to realize the true potential of their work and facilitating their transition from academic to non-academic careers. This action is in line with the objectives of the Researcher Careers Beyond Academia Hub, a network of EURAXESS members aiming to support early career researchers in their transition to non-academic careers and to establish a network of local actors bridging the gap between research and socio-economic sectors. The training path will be designed and implemented in collaboration with the Trentino Innovation Hub Foundation (HIT).

It will also extend the EURAXESS services already provided by the FEM, including a Welcome Office to support international mobility and initiatives to improve the support and follow-up of research careers.
