Your future: a personal idea of your professional and private life
The Talent Development Suite is a tool to assist PhD students and postdocs with personal career development planning – including the private life. Unlike other existing career support tools, it does not evaluate researchers' skills and abilities, but focuses on a researcher's vision.
