Panel discussion: Planning your career after your PhD/Postdoc

The FMS Annual meeting starts at 11:00h with an FMS activity organized for all PhD students and postdocs that are considering their next step in their career and exploring their career interests, either in academia, in industry or in an alternative career path. We have invited six panelists, all chemists with different interests and at different stages of their careers. With this career panel we like to give FMS PhD students and postdocs the opportunity to learn from the experience and advice of our guests. There will be ample time for discussion and questions from the audience.
