Plant Science Career Event

evenemang |

Swedish University of Agricultural Sciences SLU Alnarp, University of Copenhagen, Lund University and PlantLink have come together to organise a unique networking event directed at PhD students and postdocs within plant sciences.

 

Come and meet your future employees!
The career event is going to be a lunch-to-lunch conference with the main theme: career after the PhD. A lot of our focus is on the transition between the academia and industry, skills required to work in the private sector and expertise the young researchers can bring into the companies. You will get a chance to present and advertise your company (also by bringing information stands, leaflets etc.), to meet your potential future employees and to influence the direction of their career!

The event will also be an excellent opportunity for you to learn about research done by young plant researchers in Sweden and Denmark and a chance to discuss possible collaborations.

We already have over 50 registered young researchers and we hope you will join us and participate in discussions about choosing a future career path and to help us make the event a success.
