The purpose of this panel is to offer a forum to discuss how to foster young and mid-career scholars to develop interesting research and career. There is a large body of literature as well as training manuals on young and mid-career scholars’ competence upgrading and career development. However, this panel differs from most other existing contributions to this and other similar topics in terms of four aspects.
First, all the panelists have been earlier and/or are currently involved in the Young IB Scholars Workshops organized annually since 2021.
Second, we view young and mid-career scholars not only as people who are in need of care, attention, and assistance, but also as potential problem solvers.
Third, we discuss the importance of producing more disruptive knowledge in IB research that has the vision and courage to doubt, question and challenge established theories, assumptions and paradigms.
Fourth, we link research to career development by discussing, among other things, if and how interesting research can lead to the researcher’s interesting and sustainable career development in the IB world.
