How Does it Work?
There are two time slots and eight different panels.
The 17h00-17h45 panel focuses on scientific research, careers in languages, entrepreneurship and academia. After a 20-minute coffee break talks will resume from 18h15-19h00 and focus on information & data, social science, environmental studies and the media. You can therefore sign up for two panel discussions.
Why Attend? It's a Great Chance to Network
It is an ideal way to network with industry professionals.
