CEPLAS Career Speed Dating 2024

During the event, the Early Career Researchers (ECR) met with seven representatives from various non-academic professional areas in a relaxed atmosphere at InnoDom Cologne.

After the external guests briefly introduced their personal career path and current companies, they individually talked to all participating CEPLAS ECRs in a one-to-one speed dating format. The ECRs used this special opportunity to gather individual feedback on their CVs and to discuss topics which were relevant to them, like specific job requirements etc.

The breaks between the speed dating rounds and a get-together in a nearby Bistro after the event provided further possibilities for networking and to continue discussions.
