Career Development Workshops and Events
In addition to providing online resources through ScienceCareers.org, Science Careers runs a comprehensive outreach program designed to bring career and professional development workshops to graduate, postdoctoral, and early-career scientists.
Our Career Development workshops include Interviewing Skills, Nonacademic Careers for Scientists, Resumes and CVs, Creative Job Search Strategies, How to Publish in Science, Lab Management, Work/Life Balance, Grant Writing, and Getting the Most Out of a Job Fair, among others.
The workshops are held in various settings including at universities and colleges, at conferences and trade shows, and as stand-alone events in areas with large numbers of graduate students or postdocs.

Translational medicine is a field that continues to grow rapidly. Encouraging, supporting, and developing both basic translational research and its therapeutic application is essential to building a strong foundation in science. This webinar will focus on what Denmark is doing in the area of translational medicine to advance research, strengthen ties between academia and industry, and provide a fertile environment for innovation and the practical application of new discoveries. Discussion will cover government initiatives (Danish and European Union) to support translational medicine, as well as the infrastructure that has been put in place within Denmark to support and nurture domestic and foreign investment in this research.
