On I attended the KISSWIN congress, an information event about support for early career researchers:
- career paths
- funding possibilities
- networking possibilities

Unfortunately, as any other project, KISSWIN is limited in time. If I understood correctly, the proper project will run until the end of 2012, whereas they intend to offer some services (such as the homepage) beyond that. So take the opportunities!
