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.
