The focus of this workshop is on navigating tensions and planning the roads ahead during this period. We will discuss what is known about the mid-career research stage and look at various routes to take and associated challenges for mid-career researchers across countries and contexts. The workshop will feature panels and break-out groups to create, reflect on, and promote individual career plans. Workshop-wide discussions with mentors will help to learn from each other about possible roads to take, what it takes to succeed, and how to cope with unforeseen events and crises. Panels and follow-up round tables with panelist as mentors will help participants to find effective ways to self-organize and manage the competing demands of research, teaching, and service. Workshop participants will share experiences among themselves, develop and collect feedback on their own research agendas and plans for a satisfying and successful mid-career. Discussions will focus around issues relevant to mid-career professionals, such as:

  *   Taking on leadership roles in University administration and academic community service
  *   Fostering engagement with practice
  *   Generating research impact
  *   Dealing with tensions, unforeseen events, crises, or inequalities
