Graduation isn’t the end of the calculation; it’s just the moment you move from the model to the real world. Let’s see what makes you happier! 🙂 Academia? Industry? Their combo? Or something else?

This year’s panel discussion will explore various career paths in industry, academia, and a combination of both. Panelists will share insights into different working environments and employment, and reflect on future career possibilities in optics and photonics. 

The panel discussion will then be followed by a bingo game where you can win cool prizes such as movie tickets, cafĂ© gift vouchers, soft toys, and mugs.

The panel discussion will be streamed online. The link: TBA

To enjoy the full experience and participate in the bingo game, please register for the student event via conference registration.

See you at the student event and the conference!
