Deep Dive Through Practical Experience: A Journey Beyond the PhD with Dr. Raffael Beier

At our 2nd ECR Colloquium Series on 27 April 2026, we were delighted to welcome Dr. Raffael Beier (IPS, TU Dortmund) for an engaging and inspiring session.

Dr. Beier shared his experiences securing funding from the DFG Walter Benjamin Programme after completing his PhD, offering valuable insights into the programme’s significance for his academic journey and career development. In addition to discussing his research in diverse Global South contexts, he also guided us through his pivotal opportunities and decision-making moments that shaped his career path.

With attendees at various career stages, the session sparked lively, interactive discussions and strong engagement throughout. We extend our heartfelt thanks to Dr. Beier and all participants for making the event so motivating and inspiring.

The colloquium series is organised by the Early Career Researchers Board (Wiriya Puntub (RER) and Dahae Lee (EPC)). The next session will be held in July.
