Summer was busy, and perhaps you missed an episode or two while you were away from your desk. As we transition into fall, it’s the perfect time to catch up on the latest episode of EARLI Research Stories: The playful Zachariou, Grau & Torres | Season 3 Ep. 3. 🎙️

In this episode, our hosts Cris Castro and Leonie Johann sit down with Dr. Antonia Zachariou, Dr. Valeska Grau Cárdenas and Dr. Pablo Torres, the SIG 28 (Play, Learning and Development) Team, for a conversation spanning three continents and one shared academic home.

To round off our week of keynote introductions, we are pleased to announce that Auli Toom from the University of Helsinki will deliver the final keynote address at the JURE 2026 Conference in Tartu, Estonia.

Her keynote, Key Issues of PhD Graduates' Career Literacy for Successful Future Trajectories, will address the knowledge and capacities doctoral graduates need to navigate professional life beyond the doctorate. As the landscape of academic and non-academic careers continues to shift, career literacy has become an increasingly important dimension of doctoral education — and one that deserves serious attention.

We look forward to welcoming Dr. Toom to the University of Tartu for what promises to be a thought provoking contribution to the JURE 2026 programme on the 10th of July.
