On 18–19 May 2026, the SECURE2 consortium held its annual meeting in Szczecin, Poland. During the event, colleagues from HÉTFA’s Research Management Lab, Virág Zsár, Senior Advisor, and Beáta Lázár, Senior Communication Expert, facilitated an interactive exploitation workshop.
The workshop, entitled “Identifying Key User Groups & Developing an Exploitation Strategy for the Benchmark and Gap Analysis Report”, aimed to help project partners jointly identify the potential users of SECURE2’s first Key Exploitable Result, the Benchmark and Gap Analysis Report, and define practical steps to maximise its uptake and impact.
SECURE2 (Sustainable Careers for Researcher Empowerment 2) is a Horizon Europe project that aims to make research careers more sustainable and attractive across Europe. Through the project, partners are working on the implementation of a common Research Career Framework (RCF) that supports researchers’ professional development and institutional reforms.
During the Szczecin meeting, consortium members reviewed the achievements of the project’s first year, discussed recent European policy developments related to research careers, and exchanged experiences from the implementation of pilot actions.
