The scientific symposium ‘Faces of Industrial Research-FIR’ is organized by the Nestlé PhD Students in collaboration with BSNL, an EPFL/UNIL non-profit organization that aims to bridge the gap between upcoming academic scientists and those in Life Science industries. This event, supported by EPFL, UNIL and Nestlé, will be a 1-day symposium taking place the 19th of February 2019 in Lausanne (EPFL Campus).
The goal of this symposium is to provide insight into fundamental and translational research done in Life Science and Health care companies based in Switzerland. It will also allow future scientists to discover what industry can offer in terms of scientific projects as well as opportunities for young scientists. Furthermore, this event wants to create awareness and acknowledgment of existing industrial programs for MSc’s, PhDs and PostDocs.
During the event, PhDs, PostDocs and senior scientists currently employed in industry will showcase their scientific projects . Moreover, senior scientists will present their career paths, emphasising how they transitioned from academia to industry, before sharing more insights on their research topics. The projects will be shared in form of presentations and posters and the event will end with awards’ distributed to the best oral and poster presentation.
