Testimonials from the last session:

“It was a space to ask myself those important questions that in the daily life you don´t have time to answer.”

“As the atmosphere was very friendly and casual, we were able to ask many frank questions which we might not have a chance to ask in a professional setting.”

 “To me the most important outcome was the increased self-awareness of my person and of my potential and skills.“

 “The workshop gave me more confidence and a better general knowledge of the prospective jobs on the market for life sciences PhD holders.”
