Career day for young researchers - Career paths outside academia

Meet company representatives, entrepreneurs and PhDs who have changed tracks, and learn about the vast range of career opportunities outside of academia.

In the morning session, we will hear about PhD’s and postdocs’ competencies and how to sell yourself to companies.

In the afternoon, we will hear about some of the other options; start-up opportunities and third space professionals, and we will meet a PhD who carved out a place for himself.
