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!
