Hi, that s great (and frustrating, I am sure)

From what I see we might have to rethink a bit the panels as announced and
make one about ethics (negotiating ethics with EU bureaucracies;
negotiating ethics of hiring within big grants) as we are getting quite a
few replies on that.

So how about you structure it around these topic/s (i mean the ethics if
research more for you but its interesting you are passing from being a
post-doc to being a line manager and am sure it comes with its own ethics
and risks you experience even more within the volatile terrain you
research) , and then indicate loosely panel 2 but we might just make a new
panel.

Thsnks so much
Best
