A new EURAXESS podcast episode, “Beyond Relocation: How Dual Career Services Transform Global Mobility at Universities,” is now available. The episode examines how universities are adapting their support systems to address the needs of researchers who relocate with partners who have their own careers.
While traditional relocation services focus on administrative and practical matters, they do not fully support accompanying partners. The podcast discusses how dual career services—such as career guidance, networking opportunities, and assistance in navigating the local labour market—can improve the overall mobility experience. When partners are better supported, researchers are more likely to settle successfully and continue their work without disruption.
The episode also reflects on institutional challenges, including coordination across internal departments and ensuring sustainable service structures. These insights contribute to ongoing discussions within the EURAXESS community on strengthening mobility support.
