Building a career is tough, but building a scientific one means walking the tightrope of temporary contracts, navigating a minefield of rejections, and running the publish-or-perish treadmill. But look beyond the hurdles, and you will find a deeply rewarding journey.

To help you get there, our Young Professionals 'Growing up in Science' panel discussion brings you crucial insights from established researchers. Whether you are working through your PhD, leading your own research group or considering a leap into industry, learning from the journeys of fellow scientists is invaluable. Join us to discover how to navigate a scientific career in academia or industry and feel free to actively ask our panel members questions, or simply sit back and listen to how you can develop your career.
