This is focused on those who are at a transitional stage of their research journey. This can refer to a range of different situations often encountered by researchers, such as when something significant has or is about to change. Some examples are starting a new post, finishing a large project, becoming a team leader, becoming a research supervisor, leading a new collaboration or taking on a different role in your research group or in your department/ School/ College. This is a non-exhaustive list.
