Schedule

Our morning begins with two parallel workshops designed to equip participants with practical skills for the modern workplace. In "Generative AI for Daily Work," you'll explore how AI tools can streamline everyday tasks, boost creativity, and enhance productivity—no technical background required. In "Teamwork," the focus shifts to collaborative dynamics, offering hands-on strategies for effective communication, conflict resolution, and building trust within diverse teams. Both workshops are interactive and designed to encourage reflection and engagement. A coffee break will be offered at 10:00 AM, providing a moment to recharge and connect with fellow participants before continuing the session.

Like it or not, the world works on personal connections and you need to be able to form those connections easily. This lecture will provide you with the tools to effectively make new connections to help you find collaboration partners, information and get jobs. This is not about selling yourself. It is about forming a useful network. This workshop will provide you with easy networking techniques and will teach you open, honest and unobtrusive methods to help you make the best use of opportunities like conferences, symposia and careers fairs.

Join us for a dynamic panel discussion featuring this afternoon’s speakers as they share insights and experiences on making the transition from academia to industry. Drawing on diverse career paths, the panelists will explore the challenges, opportunities, and key considerations involved in moving beyond the academic sphere. Whether you're actively considering a career shift or simply curious about what's possible, this session offers valuable perspectives and practical advice for navigating this important transition.

Following the panel discussion, we invite all participants to join us for an informal apéro—a relaxed setting to continue the conversation. This is a unique opportunity to approach the day’s speakers directly with remaining questions, exchange ideas, and deepen connections. Whether you're seeking specific advice or simply practicing your newly acquired networking skills, this session offers the perfect environment to engage, reflect, and connect with peers and professionals alike.
