About this listen
Is someone who obtained a personal grant excellent? And someone who didn't destined for failure? In this episode, two close colleagues at TU/e, one of whom obtained a personal grant, while the other didn't, engage in an open conversation about the differences in their career paths and the effects a personal grant (or the absence of it) can have on it. We learn that while personal grants can indeed open doors, they close others, and come with considerable pressures. The discussion nuances and questions the status of personal grants and concludes that they not only require a considerable dose of luck, but also a particular set of interests and motivations that not all (excellent) academics necessarily have.
