As part of the 2021 European Computer Science Summit 
<https://www.informatics-europe.org/ecss/home.html> (ECCS) held in 
Madrid/online, the *Workshop on Career Development for Young

The goal of the workshop, organised by Elisabetta Di Nitto 
<https://dinitto.faculty.polimi.it> (Politecnico di Milano) and Standa 
Živný <https://www.cs.ox.ac.uk/standa.zivny/> (University of Oxford), is 
to support young researchers (PhD students and Postdocs) in the 
development of their soft skills related to presentation abilities, 
networking, developing a research plan, and connections to industry.

Invited speakers include Geraldine Fitzpatrick 
<http://igw.tuwien.ac.at/hci/people/gfitzpatrick> (TU Wien), Lynda 
Hardman <https://www.cwi.nl/people/lynda-hardman> (CWI), Justyna Petke

(Zühlke <https://www.zuehlke.com/en>) as well as further speakers from 
industry. They will present their experience in creating a strong 
collaboration network, improving their leadership abilities, developing 
high-quality research, and moving the research into industry.

Attendees of the workshop will attend invited talks and have the 
opportunity to actively participate in discussions. Moreover, they can
