We congratulate our PhD student Claudia Begemann (DZHW Department "Educational Careers and Graduate Employment") whose joint conference contribution with Carolin Luksche (DZHW Department "Governance in Higher Education and Science") and Julia Röwert (PhD scholarship of the Stiftung der Deutschen Wirtschaft) was recently honored with the RESSH Student Paper Award!

We are looking forward to presenting the results of the prof*panel at the following conferences this year:

• Conference of the European Consortium for Sociological Research (ECSR), 12.-14. September, Barcelona, Spain. Talk on “Successful career paths to full professorship – A typology and analysis of influencing factors”
• Research Evaluation in Social Sciences and Humanities (RESSH), 23.-24. Mai, Galway, Ireland. Talk on “Understanding Evaluation Criteria: A Comprehensive Analysis of the Implementation of Tenure-Track Professorships at German Universities”

The prof*panel is now also on Twitter, connecting with academics and researchers on social media. Follow @profpanel_DZHW for the latest updates on our long-term study and insights into academic career trajectories.

On July 6, 2023, the prof*panel launched its first follow-up survey! The aim of this follow-up is to record the current status of the career paths of participating professors in Germany. As a long-term study, the prof*panel conducts annual measurements to track changes in career trajectories. The survey is used to record career paths into and during professorship and to determine types of career paths. In addition, the study included several new topics (while dropping others) that could influence career trajectories: (1) work-life balance and health, and (2) problem-solving skills.
