Hippo'Thèse Junior Researcher Forum

The 1st half day of the Hippo'Thèse Junior Researcher Forum aims to inform doctoral candidates about continuation of career and the diversity of jobs for junior doctors. A series of talks and debates with junior doctors coming from life science will allow the public to learn more about these topics. Networking sessions are planned to meet the speakers. The originality of the Junior Researcher Forum is to present the opportunities and challenges during the pursuit of careers from the point of views of both recruiters and candidates.
The speakers will be from science life PhD projects, but any doctoral candidate who would like to attend will be warmly welcome. Indeed, the hot issues we will talk about are common to every junior researcher.
The 2nd half day of the Hippo'Thèse Junior Researcher Forum aims to inform doctoral candidates and debate about several hot issues related to the PhD, such as transversal skills of doctors, valorization of the PhD, social protection of junior researchers and open science, among all of them. The sessions will be animated by the Junior Researcher Confederation (Confédération des Jeunes Chercheurs). In parallel, CV and cover letter corrections will be offered and several companies and organizations related to the PhD will have stands.
Moreover, people who are interested by these topics are also invited to participate to the working meeting during the week-end with the members of Confédération des Jeunes Chercheurs (registration by email at contact@hippothese.asso.fr).
