About this event

Early-career researchers from across Wales are invited to a series of on-line career events in 2025. The purpose of these events is to give early career researchers an insight into the great variety of career options alongside the “traditional” academic route and are aimed at post-graduate and post-doctoral researchers.

The speakers contributing to the sessions all started their careers at a Welsh University and have since gone on to have successful careers in other sectors either within Wales or elsewhere. These events will celebrate individual career stories as well as showcasing the ways in which Welsh HEIs contribute to the development of a highly skilled and talented workforce for Wales, the UK and beyond.

The sessions will be delivered via Zoom or Teams and are being organised by the Wales Concordat Network (that has representation from Aberystwyth University, Bangor University, Cardiff University, Cardiff Metropolitan University, Wrexham University, Swansea University, the University of South Wales and the University of Wales Trinity St David) in collaboration with the Learned Society of Wales.

Gwahoddir ymchwilwyr ar ddechrau eu gyrfa o bob rhan o Gymru i gyfres o ddigwyddiadau gyrfa ar-lein yn ystod 2025. Pwrpas y digwyddiadau hyn yw rhoi cipolwg i ymchwilwyr ar ddechrau eu gyrfa ar yr amrywiaeth eang o opsiynau gyrfa ochr yn ochr â’r llwybr academaidd “traddodiadol” ac maent wedi’u hanelu at ymchwilwyr ôl-raddedig ac ôl-ddoethurol.

Dechreuodd y siaradwyr a gyfrannodd at y sesiynau eu gyrfaoedd mewn Prifysgol Gymraeg ac ers hynny maent wedi mynd ymlaen i gael gyrfaoedd llwyddiannus mewn sectorau eraill naill ai yng Nghymru neu mewn mannau eraill. Bydd y digwyddiadau hyn yn dathlu hanesion gyrfa unigol ac yn arddangos y ffyrdd y mae SAUau Cymru yn cyfrannu at ddatblygu gweithlu hynod fedrus a thalentog ar gyfer Cymru, y DU a thu hwnt.

Bydd y sesiynau’n cael eu cyflwyno drwy Zoom neu Teams ac yn cael eu trefnu gan Rwydwaith Concordat Cymru (sydd â chynrychiolaeth o Brifysgol Aberystwyth, Prifysgol Bangor, Prifysgol Caerdydd, Prifysgol Metropolitan Caerdydd, Prifysgol Wrecsam, Prifysgol Abertawe, Prifysgol De Cymru a Phrifysgol Cymru Y Drindod Dewi Sant) mewn cydweithrediad â Chymdeithas Ddysgedig Cymru.
