Personally, GROW means that I will have a smooth transition after 🌐 #Mapineq and that I can relax during my upcoming parental leave👨🏽🍼😀.
🚀 This journey began in the summer of 2021, brainstorming ideas and participating in multiple informative sessions. By summer 2022, I drafted my first unsuccessful proposal 😭. A year later, I reworked it, leading to success. Thank you to all who directly or indirectly supported me 🙏🏽.
🌱 GROW focuses on who gains and risks when #WorkingWhileStudying at university, and under which conditions. GROW aims at providing a more comprehensive and interdisciplinary understanding of the implications of #StudentEmployment on student’s life courses. 📚
🎉 Exciting news! Feeling extremely humble and lucky to have been granted the #MSCActions postdoctoral fellowship to implement my project at the amazing @invest-flagship.bsky.social and the @UniTurku.
Policy update from #Mapineq project coordinator
@janierola.net!
🌐 Unlocking the full potential of register data for European research is imperative. Not only to boost competitiveness but also to enhance science-informed policymaking.

Really looking forward to this event! So much to be done at the European level
Looks like a great event for those interested in cross-national and international work! For our US followers, 15.02.2024 is February 15... there are not 15 months in the European calendar 🤓.
A bit under three years left, let’s see what will be recommended. At the moment no one (funder or host institutes) seems to have a proper idea what do with these mega-funded things afterwards.
If you ask me, we will just continue do the same but even more, the big question is in what format
3️⃣Improving Data Accessibility with @jpheisig.bsky.social and @tinahinz.bsky.social.
4️⃣Challenges in Ethics, Re-identification, and Data Security with @melindacmills.bsky.social and @andganna.bsky.social.
We will feature 4 Breakout Sessions on:
1️⃣Creating Comparable Datasets with @mjantti.bsky.social and Domantas Jasilionis.
2️⃣Linking Administrative and Other Data with Aki Koivula and Rodosthenis Rodosthenous.

Uf, ok this is my first post. After some postdoc experiences in Brussels and in Rotterdam, I decided to apply for a Project manager position. Now is a bit more than a year and has been a lot of fun working for @janierola.net and Mapineq.
