BEYOND ICFO- Careers Outside Academia
Researchers receive training over the course of their scientific careers that is highly technical, but also quite broad, and acquire competencies through the years that are applicable both to scientific and industrial challenges.
Where is your career headed? What are the advantages and challenges for scientists who shift to careers beyond academia?
The ICFO Alumni Network has invited some of its members who have transitioned from academia to Industry, Technology Start-ups, Multi-nationals, Consulting, Data Analysis and IP and Patent management to share their experiences in panel discussions that will be of interest to both current ICFOnians and Alumni alike.
