IFM Young Researchers Day
About the event
Welcome to the 5th edition of the IFM Young Researchers Day! This event is aimed at PhD students, Master students, and Post docs who want to share their work and learn more about opportunities to continue their careers in science. The event will include a poster session and student talks (prizes included!), as well as a talk from a keynote speaker who has experience as a young team leader. There will also be a round table discussion with young professionals who recently finished their masters or doctoral studies and now work in a variety of fields. The goal is to give young researchers a chance to present their work and expose students to the wide scope of career opportunities available to them post-PhD.
