As a researcher, what are your career goals? And have you thought about your journey to get there? Do you have the tools or skills necessary? Or is there something missing?

Via EURAXESS, we offer several tools to help you figure out where you want to go and how to get there.

ResearchComp: identify and assess the necessary competences

ResearchComp is a tool that helps researchers identify the competences they need to reach their career goals. They can assess  which competences they already master and which once deserve additional efforts, with clear benefits for their career and employability. 

But ResearchComp does more than that. It also helps higher education institutions and training providers adapt their offer to researchers. Lastly, it helps employers to be aware of the wide set of competences of researchers.

EntreComp Self-assessment tool: for aspiring scientific entrepreneurs

A new addition to the EURAXESS Startup Digital Toolkit is the EntreComp Self-Assessment tool. It is a self-reflecting online experience for aspiring scientific entrepreneurs. The tool guides you through learning paths towards success outside lab settings. 

EntreComp guides users across fifteen competence assessments. After completing a competence assessment, the user will be presented with a chart, summarizing the current proficiency levels in that area. At the end of the complete assessment, the tool will present a personal development plan, highlighting the strengths and areas for improvement.
