Under the motto 'Science meets Industry' we aim to give you the opportunity to interact with people who successfully made the transition from science to industry. In one of the sessions we will specifically focus on aspects of setting starting a company and successfully implementing business ideas that originated in academic research.
The event will consist of moderated discussions with panellists who have embarked on different career paths outside the university. We will also offer talks and keynotes by Early Career and Principle Investigators, who will present their research and personal career path within and outside the academia. In between the sessions, there will be plenty of opportunities to get in personal touch and discussion with the speakers, panellists and peers.
So please do not hesitate to register if you like to
- meet other early career researchers from the field of materials science,
- meet alumni of the University of Bremen now working in industry;
- learn how to successfully translate your research outcomes into an entrepreneurial venture
- get to know more about the career path of Prof. Dr. Jan-Henning Dirks, Professor for Biological Structures and Biomimetics at the City University of Applied Sciences (HSB)
