Please note that registration for this event is momentarily suspended as it will need to be rescheduled. Cancellations by some key mentors due to restrictions from their employers to attend events during the COVID-19 outbreak prevents us from guaranteeing the range of careers represented, and as such the benefits to attendees. For this reason, we will reschedule the event in a more appropriate date in the future.

Thanks for your understanding.

The event will be centered around informal discussions between small groups of postdocs and mentors from a postgraduate background, now having a variety of roles in multiple employment sectors.

This will give the opportunity to postdocs to meet new people, learn about new roles, what they entail and how to reach them.

In addition to the group discussions, the event will involve multiple other networking opportunities, notably for lunch (at 12) and during the happy hour/wine reception (from 4 pm).
