"The Career day was really useful for young researchers to meet in a slightly less intimidating environment […] you got to meet a small group of people who you continued to see/talk to during the entire conference."
"I particularly enjoyed the career day at the beginning of the conference"
— participants, EMBO Career Day 2014
The Career Day offers a number of career development workshops for young scientists - PhD students and postdocs. The skills developed in these sessions are essential for successful academic or science-related careers. These sessions are uniquely developed for scientists by scientists; all the trainers have a research background and work extensively with researchers in the life sciences.
