Career Day
The ENABLE 2018 Career Day will take place in Copenhagen on the 7th of November and is one of the principal activities of the symposium. The aim of the event is to create a common ground where PhD students and postdocs from all over Europe can interact with professionals from different fields to discuss career perspectives beyond the bench. The all day activities will consist of “career chats”, workshops and opportunity fair and will provide attendees new skills to effectively manage their professional development.
Career chats
Broaden your Horizon talking to professionals
What is it?
- Career Chats overcome the classical format of career development roundtables providing a more direct interaction between PhD and Postdocs and professionals that hold a PhD but moved beyond academic research like industry CEOs, consultants, editors or science communicators.
How does it work?
- Each session will last 30-45 min and will involve 15-20 participants who will have the opportunity to interact with and ask questions to the professional participating in that session. At the end of the allotted time, participants will move on to another Career Chat with a different professional.
Information about the invited professionals will follow soon.
