Dear members,

This year, the CB Career Day will be held on the 20th of May from 15.00-18.30. This will be an excellent opportunity for you to learn about different career options. The event will be online in a gathertown server, the link will be shared later. 

We have invited several speakers with different backgrounds that will tell us about their career. Additionally, there will be a chance for you to network and ask questions after each talk. Last but not least we will also organise a small networking drink session, at the end of the day, to give you the change to ask your personal questions and interact with the different speakers.

The general schedule can be found below. In the period leading up to the event, we will reveal more information about the speakers and a more detailed abstract on what they will be talking about. Stay tuned to learn more about the presenters!
