Nima K.: Preparing Two Years Before a Marie Skłodowska-Curie Application
Nima K.
I am a second-year PhD student in biomedical engineering. I expect to finish in about two years and want to prepare now for Marie Skłodowska-Curie and other European research applications.
The situation
Nima is in the second year of a PhD in biomedical engineering and expects to complete it in around two years. The useful work now is profile building: publications, research positioning, host mapping, European networking and early identification of Marie Skłodowska-Curie and other funding routes.
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.
