Various competence models can be used to accurately describe the competencies required in a scientific career. The European Commission has developed The European Competence Framework for Researchers, a comprehensive tool for assessing and developing (transferable) skills in research. More information can be found on the ResearchComp Webpage.

 

 

The Researchers Development Framework of the renowned Vitae Careers Research and Advisory Centre (CRAC) in Cambridgen is also very helpful, in which scientific competencies have been categorized into four main domains and numerous sub-domains.
