2017 Symposium on “Careers in Science, Academia and beyond”

The NCCR Chemical Biology is proud to announce the first Symposium on “Careers in Science, Academia and beyond” that will take place on November 29-30, in the Campus Biotech (Geneva). This event is open to all Master & PhD students as well as postdocs, in all science disciplines, from all Swiss universities. This two-day Symposium welcomes all young scientists, struggling with these crucial questions: Am I heading in the right direction? What do I need to do next? Where to go? How to do it? Participants will become more aware of the steps required for academic careers and the many other career opportunities beyond bench research. We have invited 25 inspiring speakersfrom a range of employment sectors including academia, science administration, industry, entrepreneurship, education, communication or alternative paths. A broad array of talks, toolkit talks and 4 workshops on career development will be proposed. The event will also provide ample time for networking.
