• Have you ever wondered what it is like working at a start-up?
• Are you considering a career change and thinking of moving to the start-up scene?
• Do you want to learn the differences between working in academia or in a start-up?
• Do you want to start your own one?

Then you have come to the right place....

The Hughes Hall Postdoctoral Research Group presents the seminar Life at a Start-up aimed at students and early career researchers.

Life at a Start-up is a seminar designed to answer these and any other question about the life at a start-up and what it takes to be successful. We will have the pleasure to hear about the personal experiences of three guest speakers with a recognized track-record in the start-up scene. They will share advice with us during short presentations. At the end of the seminar, we will have a round table discussion where attendees will be able to pose questions to the panel.

Confirmed speakers:

• Jo Evershed, CEO at Cauldron Science
• Rhodri Thomas, CEO at Spectral Edge Ltd.
• Andrew Ferguson, Head of Physics, Evonetix
• Josephine Socratous, Research Engineer, FlexEnable

Format:

• 6:30-7:30 Guest speakers (15 min talks)
• 7:30- 7:50 Round Table
• 7:50-8:30 Networking with the speakers
  
  

Refreshments will be provided.
