Danubius Young Scientist Award: Career Tracking
The report „Danubius Young Scientist Award: Career Tracking“, which was commissioned by the Austrian Federal Ministry for Education, Science and Research (BMBWF), analyses the impact of the Award on the alumni’s career development, as well as highlighting any areas for improvement and creating further opportunities for networking among the alumni community.
Over the course of two years, the Institute for the Danube Region and Central Europe (IDM) conducted various activities to gain insights into the alumni’s experience of the Award, including a survey in July 2023, interviews with eight individuals in April 2024 and an online networking event in December 2024. In addition to providing the IDM with valuable feedback, the findings show the diversity of research being conducted in the Danube Region and pay tribute to the motivation and dedication of the talented young scientists who have won the Award.
