Ha sido emotivo participar en estas jornadas conmemorativas de los 25 años de la @fjiprecarios.bsky.social y recordar su fundación y los primeros pasos, así como re-encontrarme con compañer@s de esas luchas y conocer a los que las siguen, avanzando en la dignificación del trabajo en investigación. 💪

In this meeting I have briefly explained #eurodoc origins and how our participation on the drafting of the European Charter for Researchers by @ec.europa.eu was instrumental to help fighting for the basic working rights of early career researchers in Spain and elsewhere.
