The Life Science Career Day is a large-scale networking and career guidance event for students and young researchers in the field of life sciences, facilitating access to their first job outside university.

This edition will focus on the transition from academia to the professional world at any stage of one’s journey.

For the students of the University of Geneva, a free shuttle service will be organized by the UNIGE from Geneva to the SwissTech Convention Center and back.

What to expect?

Laure Crabbe-Vert , Life Science Innovation Manager at LVMH Recherche, will open the event with a talk that will put science and innovation at the heart of professional choices, while a round table exploring career paths will close the day.
