A coalition of funders is partnering with Marie Curie Alumni Association and the Young Academy of Europe to create a peer exchange platform to enhance researchers' ability to present and valorise a broad range of experiences and achievements in the format of narrative-style CVs. Mentees will be able to find mentors based on a range of traditional and non-traditional career experiences and achievements, to support how these outputs can be articulated in evaluation, hiring, and promotion processes.
About PEP- CV
The PEP - CV is a platform for everyone active in the research and innovation sector to engage in simple peer mentoring exchange to discuss hot to best present diverse experience, achievements, and career paths in narrative style CVs.
This training aims to explore the growing importance of Narrative CVs in transforming research culture by promoting a more qualitative and holistic approach to academic assessment. It will examine how this format supports the recognition of a wider range of researcher contributions—such as open science practices, mentorship, and societal impact—and aligns with international initiatives like DORA and CoARA to foster a more inclusive and responsible evaluation framework.
Gain insights into the opportunities and challenges of implementing Narrative CVs, and hear about future initiatives, including workshops, training and community engagement events. With a focus on making research assessments more inclusive and accessible beyond geographical and cultural barriers, this webinar is a step toward empowering a vibrant and diverse research community.
