It is our great pleasure to invite you to “Researchers Meet Entrepreneurs: Career Paths”, an event jointly organised by the MCAA France Chapter, the MCAA Bridging Science and Business Working Group (BSB WG), and the AUFRANDE Program teams.
This event aims to further strengthen the bridge between academia and industry by fostering dialogue, networking, and collaboration among researchers, entrepreneurs, and professionals.
Intended for current and former Marie Skłodowska-Curie Actions (MSCA) fellows, this event will explore diverse career paths for PhD holders and early-career postdoctoral researchers. It will offer valuable insights into transitioning from academia to industry, with a particular focus on start-up creation, mental health, and wellbeing. The programme will feature speakers and stakeholders from various sectors and provide ample opportunities for open discussion and networking.
