Reflections on The Job Market for Young Researchers - edition 2026 πβ¨ Looking back at this year's edition, I am filled with pride and gratitude! π Organising the Job Market was quite a journey, and I am happy with the outcome π. However, the real magic happened because of the people involved. π€ A massive THANK YOU to the PhD alumni [Dr. Frank Stumpe, Peter Vandersteegen; Arno Stockman; Franky Van Herreweghe; Sandra Wauters; Reza N.Soleimani; Vincent Vandepitte; Lieve Nuytinck; Nele Bracke; Mouna Guerfal PhD; Hatim El Sghiar; Paul Snauwaert; Lieve Ongena; Jozef Ghijselen; Roel Sterken; Martin Fiers; Fadi Glor; Jef Ongena; Xavier Walthoff Borm, Ph.D.; Nick Vangheluwe, PhD; Aleksandra Fulara; Katrien Begyn; Arno Mel; Liesbeth Demuyser; Pieter Van den Berghe; Bo Kang; Juliana Mandha, PhD] who joined us in the PhD Career Connect boothsπ‘. Your willingness to give back and share your expertise is what turns this event from a simple "job market" into a true bridge to the future for our early career researchers ππ. The momentum is real! β‘Iβm already looking forward to building a better and bigger 2027 edition together! ποΈπ
