14 November 2024, 15:00 – 19:00, VUB, Brussels

The five Flemish universities make it their goal to facilitate a yearly thematic exchange, with a specific focus on talent transfer, between the broad Belgian labour market and PhD talent (both PhD researchers and postdoctoral researchers).

The objective is to close the gap between PhD talent on the one hand and companies and organizations that wish to capitalize on the added value of the PhD degree on the other hand – through inspiring discussions as well as concrete actions.

Join us on Thursday 14 November 2024 to connect and exchange with peer-researchers form the five Flemish universities and companies and organisations from the non-academic labour market looking for PhD talent.
