Young scholars are early-career researchers within a time span of up to 8 years from the date they obtained their PhD. In this context, how does a COST Action help young scholars in their budding careers, and why should a young scholar get involved? In this final episode of the first series of the New Working Spaces Podcast, our co-hosts, Dr. Emannuel Costa and Dr. Chiara Tagliaro, welcome Dr. Lukas Danko, associate professor at Tomas Bata University (Czech Republic) and Dr. Oliver Rafaj, associate professor at the University of Economics in Bratislava (Slovakia) to chat about the challenges, activities and opportunities that participation in a COST Action promotes for a young scholar.
