Future Career Perspectives for Researchers

After finishing your doctorate, you can pursue a career in academia or alternatively on various sectors of the society. One option also is to establish and run your own business as an entrepreneur. By providing information and introducing perspectives of different career possibilities, we want to support researchers in acquiring the knowledge and contacts they might need when transitioning to job positions outside the academic world.
