Episode 3: ...to Italy - Dr. Matteo Ardini (32 min)
Our third interview was a special one, as we had it with a postdoc from one of the EULiST universities: Dr. Matteo Ardini.
He is postdoc and researcher in Biochemistry, Structural Biology and Bionanotechnology – and told a lot about the Italian academic system. Especially the position as a „tenure track postdoc“, but also less funding than in Germany and the national scientific ‚habilitation‘ which differs a lot from possible qualifications for a professorship in Germany were part of the interview. We talked, moreover, about the L’Aquila and the university – enjoy listening to it!
