FEBS Research and Careers Skills Workshop: Networking for scientists: reasons, reservations, reinventions
Tuesday, 6 July, 18:15 to 19:15
Organized by the FEBS Network Working Group.
Following popular sessions at 2018 and 2019 FEBS Congress, this workshop looks again at the value of networking for scientists and a range of networking approaches for different aims, such as finding a collaborator or seeking a new academic position.
- What role does and should networking play in science?
- The pandemic and networking – what did we learn and what can we keep?
- Small-group discussions on aspects of networking to allow active participation of those who attend the session.
Note: for technical reasons, attendance is limited to 100 participants. No previous registration is needed.
