A reminder that The Source Event, a free, dedicated science career fair that combines a dynamic exhibition with conference and workshop sessions, is on Friday 26 September. The event will promote Europe as a great place to pursue a career in science, be it in industrial research, research organisations or academia. It will present the best opportunities from the best organizations: public, private, national and international. Jobseekers will be able to meet with potential employers who are offering hundreds of genuine vacancies. Our plenary and workshop sessions will provide a unique opportunity to meet high profile scientists and gain careers information and advice.
Editors from Nature journals and Nature Network will be speaking or on-hand to meet attendees, and there will be information available about Nature Publishing Group’s internship scheme and other career opportunities. One presentation will be by Simon Frantz of the Nobel Foundation (previously, Simon was Chief Editor of Nature Reviews Drug Discovery). Simon’s presentation is entitled Careers in science writing/editing, and he has been carrying out a ‘web 2.0’ experiment in advance of the event at Nature Network, encouraging his audience to help shape his talk.
The Source Event is at the Business Design Centre, London.
