🚀 Great research needs more than great ideas.
Can you write a winning proposal? Build a realistic budget? Lead a research team? These are the skills that can make or break a project—but they're rarely taught in academia.
🎙️ In our latest Committed to Planet A episode, we take you inside the Management of Research Projects workshop, hosted by the Technical University of Leoben in June 2026. Hear from the workshop organizers and expert trainers as they share practical insights into project management and explain how early-career researchers can turn ambitious ideas into successful, sustainable projects.
Whether you're a PhD candidate, postdoc, or simply curious about what it takes to lead a research project, this episode is for you.

✈️ Chloë Thiriot is working as administration assistant in the International Relations Office at IAE Metz School of Management for almost one year now. In support of her personal and professional development, she visited the EURECA-PRO campus in Mittweida in June to take part in the International Week.
🎙️ Now, she talks in an interview on how she benefited from this trip: “This mobility was also a way for me to gain confidence as it was my first ever mobility for work and I went to Mittweida on my own. Attending events, conferences, meeting new people can be a bit overwhelming but then you can develop your ability to adapt yourself, to talk to people coming from different backgrounds. These skills can be used in many situations when you are working in a university.”
🌍 Her experience shows that European mobility programs also offer a tremendous opportunity for administrative staff to share best practices and enhance the support provided to students.

It has been an invaluable experience that truly enriched both my creative and professional growth".
👏 She graduated ranked first based on her diploma grade.

🎒 The exams are over. Suitcases are packed. But what happens to the bike, kettle or desk lamp you've used all year?
📚 At Hasselt University, students are choosing not to throw them away. Instead, they're passing them on through a "pay it forward" initiative that helps fellow students settle into life in Hasselt while reducing waste.
🍳 It's a simple idea with a powerful impact: extending the life of valuable resources and turning sustainability into everyday action.
💚 That's responsible consumption in practice!
