It's possible to define employer branding as the package of functional, economic and psychological benefits offered to a potential employee by a brand, business or institution.

Subscriptions are available for your team We want to make it easier for you and your team to recruit the best professors, researchers and students to work, study and attend academic events at your institution.

One year ago, 11 Academia Networks and esd Conferences started a cooperative partnership. So far, the partnership has brought copious benefits to both organisations that have contributed to their growth. Esd Conferences benefits from visibility to our audiences on INOMICS and Conference Monkey, as well as visibility in the midst of high quality information such as salary reports. At the same time, the cooperation has greatly helped 11 Academia Networks to expand our user network and build trust in our services.

INOMICS is continuously developing and making progress in the market of online academic, student and professional recruitment and as a result, we are rolling out five new niche platforms which all form part of 11 Academia Networks. This hinges on the knowledge that specialist recruitment platforms yield better results than a hodgepodge website with a department store functionality, for both users and customers.

The value of diversity resides on new ideas, creativity and innovation. To ensure the success of your international team, you should work towards inclusion, where every single member feels valued and integrated in the organization, mission, vision and strategy. When professors, students and administration members feel appreciated, they are more willing to generate ideas and make resources available for innovation and growth.

Over recent years we have covered topics about how to network in academia, the possibilities for networking at a conference and different tips to make the most of your conference trip. In this post we want to provide you with a list of international networking events that will contribute to the development of your institution.
