[BC]2 is organized in Basel as an in-person conference – with a virtual component – to enjoy great science together, network and develop relationships during social activities. All speakers and oral presenters will be presenting live, in-person at the congress venue. The [BC]2 Scientific Committee has put together a diverse programme featuring inspiring keynote lectures by international experts, scientific presentations from selected abstracts, tutorials and workshops to foster hands-on capabilities and interactive poster sessions together with networking activities to refresh the mind and connect with peers in a friendly atmosphere!
For participants who are unable to travel or do not wish to travel for environmental reasons, there is the possibility to register as a virtual participant. Virtual participation only includes access to the opening keynote lecture on 11 September and the conference sessions on 12 and 13 September (live streamed, not recorded) and access to the meeting’s virtual poster platform, it does not include access to the pre-conference workshops and tutorials.
You may attend to attend this amazing event but also be part of it! Here’s how you can get involved: 1) Submit a talk or poster for one of the parallel sessions. Visit our websitefor more information on how to submit. 2) Apply for a talk in our special session onindustry-academia collaborations. This session is dedicated to researchers and companies who wish to share the results of such joint projects and interdisciplinary collaborations.
The goal of the symposium is to provide insights into fundamental and translational research done in Life Science and Healthcare companies based in Switzerland. The symposium will also allow to discover what industry can offer in terms of scientific projects and opportunities for young scientists.
During the event, scientists and postdocs currently employed by various Life Science and Healthcare companies (Nestlé, Roche, Novartis OM Pharma, Arcoscreen, SOPHiA GENETICS and more) or universities, will showcase their career paths, transition from academia to industry, as well as their scientific projects. Besides their talks, they will answer your questions and share more thoughts in panel discussions. The symposium will also include networking opportunities with the speakers, around company booths and with your peers.
The Life Science Career Day is a large-scale networking and career guidance event for students and young researchers in the field of life sciences at Swiss universities to facilitate their access to their first job outside the university (read about the previous edition).
Date & Venue of the eleventh edition : May 16th 2023, SwissTech Convention Center, Lausanne (Winner of the 2022, 2019 and 2016 “Best Convention Center” Award)
Target audience: students and early career researchers from Swiss Universities wishing to prepare for a career in the corporate world/industry or in various organizations (governmental and non-governmental).
Theme 2023: Diversity in life science jobs, endless!
Jobs in the life sciences are very diverse, and to choose the right one, consider four questions: What do I like to do? 2. which areas interest me? 3. how do I like to work (company culture) 4. Whose values/aspects/dreams/challenges do I value and whose are I willing to give up or negotiate? What drives me really? The 2023 program is built to help you answer these four questions, so book this day, to follow us from A to Z! Renowned companies, recruiters and speakers are looking forward to meeting you in person during the networking sessions!
