On behalf of SECURE, the project we are proudly part of, YERUN – the Young European Research Universities Network – is pleased to invite you to the SECURE Summit, taking place on 6 March 2025, in Brussels, Belgium, at the YERUN Office (Rue du Trône 62, 1050 Ixelles), and online. This hybrid event will gather researchers, policymakers, and research institutions to discuss sustainable research career pathways in Europe.
The Summit will showcase key findings about Research Career Framework (RCF), Tenure Track-Like (TTL) models and SECURE project’s trials, providing insights into how different approaches can improve career stability and progression for researchers. Through expert discussions, institutional perspectives, and policy recommendations, we will explore ways to support research talent and enhance career opportunities across Europe.
Through expert discussions, institutional perspectives, and policy recommendations, the Summit will explore the following key themes:
- The role of policy recommendations in shaping future research careers in Europe.
- Strategies for research career sustainability and potential job trajectories.
- Lessons learned about the Research Career Framework (RCF) and Tenure Track-Like (TTL) models.
- Institutional approaches to talent retention and mobility.
- The role of policy recommendations in shaping future research careers in Europe.
Participants will have the opportunity to engage in roundtable discussions, presentations, and networking, providing valuable insights and practical solutions for research institutions across Europe.

About SECURE:
The SECURE – The Sustainable Careers for Researcher Empowerment – project is an EU-funded project implemented by a consortium of eighteen organisations, among which YERUN, led by The Oceanic Platform of the Canary Islands (PLOCAN). In the span of two years (January 2023 – March 2025), the project focused on improving research careers and reducing career precarity.
The SECURE project built on existing policies and recommendations for improving research careers, and developed coordination and support measures to create, trial, implement, and mainstream a common Research Career Framework (RCF) that offers a suite of options to support organisations in the recruitment, employment, training, development, progression, and mobility of researchers with the aim to improve research careers and reduce career precarity.
