Extremely happy/grateful to be among the lucky ones who receive an @ERC_Research Starting Grant #ERCStG. From next year I will work on CAREER to study the career effects of vocational education, and investigate how changing labor markets affects workers’ careers. Summary ⬇️ 1/5 
It’s an individual grant, but many helped me (in different ways) with this proposal: Matthijs Kalmijn, @GMMKuipers, @HermanWerfhorst, @distasio_val, @BramLancee, @GijsSchumacher, Brian Burgoon, @HallstenMartin, Bea Krenn, Els den Os, many people that shared their proposal. 2/5
I particularly want to thank @sara_geven, who read the proposal multiple times and, when I was completely stuck and thought the proposal was shit, told me (multiple times) that it was a good idea. It’s a privilege to have such colleagues and work in a supportive environment. 3/5
Nick Cave wrote something beautiful on the collaborative spirit, that strongly aligns with how I (think we all) do academic work:
“These days, there is little I do that is not done in the spirit of collaboration.” 4/5

So: I *really* look forward to start new collaborations with CAREER. At some point I will post vacancies for 1 post-doc and 2 PhD positions, but that’s for later.
p.s. Sorry for the boring acronym. I always envisioned funny, but when push came to shove, I went for informative./5
