Jonas B.: Bionics Researcher Preparing 18 Months Before the Call
Jonas B.
I am an interdisciplinary bionics researcher with four journal papers and two conference papers. I want to strengthen my publication record and research profile before applying for Marie Skłodowska-Curie funding in about 18 months.
The situation
Jonas works across bionics, engineering and applied research. With four journal papers and two conference papers, the next 18 months can be used deliberately for publication planning, clearer research positioning, stronger evidence of independence, networking and host development before the target funding call.
Useful support route
The next step is to organise the existing research assets, timing and career objective into a practical support plan. Depending on the case, this may combine funding strategy, publications, host or employer outreach, industry transition, research entrepreneurship and longer-term career planning.
