Leading panel discussions on topics such as networking and personal marketing were rounded off by the opportunity to make contacts and a Q&A with renowned international companies from the fields of AI development, energy supply, industrial R&D, consulting, chemical industry, science management and pharmaceutical industry.
Today was all about discovering one's own possibilities: To enable a successful transition from science to industry by combined scientific skills and experience with future competences.
Main Panel discussion guests included Katrin Busch-Holfelder (Keynote speaker), Edouard Fouché (Siemens), Verena Arndt (Grünenthal GmbH), Simon Schlierf (GULP) and Jan Peter Schupsky (Gesellschaft für Anlagen- und Reaktorsicherheit gGmbH).
During the two Suppanel rounds, representatives from HR departments and former postdocs discussed their experiences with the participants in an open and lively atmosphere. To conclude the morning event, participants were encouraged to clarify any remaining questions in open group counselling sessions on the following topics: "Know your strengths", "Spruce up your resume" and "Upgrade your professional online profile".
In the evening program, participants could choose between several workshops to prepare themselves for a possible transition into the industry!
