academics Lunch Talks

"academics" is the name of a company specializing in job market and career consulting. For the third time in a row, academics is offering a supporting program on life science jobs and careers at LABVOLUTION.

A new feature this year consists of the academics Lunch Talks, where selected tradeshow attendees can meet employees from exciting companies over a free lunch snack and beverages. The so-called Employer Brand Ambassadors (EBAs), who come from different corporate areas, will report on their own personal careers, for example as sales staff, quality management employees or product development workers. In a compact group consisting of a maximum of 25 participants, the EBAs will answer questions and help participants get an authentic impression of career options in the life sciences. The academics Lunch Talks take place every day between 12:15 and 1:30 p.m. Since the number of places is limited to a maximum of 25 participants, please register in good time.
