Do you want to broaden your research by working with societal, clinical, and industry partners? Come to an exciting networking event for early career researchers organized by BCB-NL and Young NeurolabNL! You will learn more about the (funding) opportunities that open up when working with societal partners and gain insights into setting up fruitful collaborations.

During this event, you will first be able to learn from two experts on non-academic collaborations during the keynote presentations. Then, you can attend interactive workshops (click on the link to find out more about the workshops) in which you will connect with several societal partners, including patient organizations and clinicians, industry, educational, and citizens science partners. And of course, there will be plenty of time for a chat, drinks and snacks 😊.

The event is targeted at early career researchers (assistant professor/postdoc/late stage PhD) interested in finding out more about collaborating with partners outside of academia, or interested in finding new partners.

Please come and join us!

The event will be held in English.
